Another Trip Around the Sun

Today is my birthday (53, for those who wonder). I am thinking this morning about some words written by one of the great philosophers of my generation - Jimmy Buffet.

Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday

Better think about the wish I made

This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake

Every day's a revolution

Pull it together and it comes undone

Just one more candle and a trip around the sun

Chorus:
I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning

And it's good to know it's out of my control

If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living

Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go

(Lyrics to "Trip Around the Sun" by Jimmy Buffet, from the album "License to Chill").

Of course, I'm also thinking a bout a cheeseburger in paradise, but that's another story.
