This past weekend, I celebrated my 39th Birthday. It was a low-key affair; a nostalgic lunch, crème puffs & brownies, and hours spent in the yard and garden — planting, mulching, watering.

At one point, my wife looked at me and asked if I would have been pissed off about spending my special day doing domestic chores 10 years ago.
