birthday

today i'm turning 25. i got this adorable lava-cake arrangement from StoryCorps' partner station's liason, June (from North Country Public Radio). she is just about the sweetest southern lady you'll ever meet! i'm so thankful for her nice-ness, because everyone keeps telling me birthdays away from home are supposed to be sad, and i don't want THAT. so far, things are a-okay... i did a great interview this morning with a guy with Parkinson's Disease who did my favorite thing that SO many participants do (more than i ever expected) - he sang! that was gift enough.
