Today, I'm 45. The age my grandparents were when I was born. For some reason, 40 didn't bother me, but 45 sounds old. Whatever. I don't feel much different than I did when I was in my 20s, so Im just going to shrug this silly feeling off.

I hope most of my friends have recovered from St. PaDDy's Day. I myself stay in, I don't have a lot of desire to carouse with the plastic Paddy set. Anyway, here's what 'e been up to in the last week:

No, this isn't about basketball. I have no interest in basketball at all. This is my version of March Madness - the Iditarod.

Ah, it's March! I love March! Lots of good things about March - Spring starts (theoretically anyway), I have a birthday (I was an equinox baby born in a snowstorm), my first official day of work is the 30th (I get Sunday and Monday off at this time of year, so it won't actually be until April 1st), and the Iditarod is happening. It's also Bandit's seventh Adoption Day anniversary today. We're going to go buy a new dog bone later to celebrate. And the other really good thing about March? It's not February!!!

I really hate the month of February. About the only thing good about it is BaD. It's the ass-end of winter, too many bad memories, and the point when I'm flat broke and know my first paycheck won't be until mid-April. Blah!

Feeling a bit under the weather today, the dog is whining at me for no discernable reason, the cat pooped on the floor next to the litter box because there was one nugget in the box already (she's such a frigging princess sometimes!), and stupid Amazon still hasn't shipped my game that I pre-ordered. So no real blog from me today.

This is and it isn't a game-related blog entry. It's more about community and friendship and strangers performing acts of kindness than gaming. I was reminded of this when reading the caption of a photo in my Photo A Day group on Facebook a few minutes ago. I belong to several online communities and have made friends with people I may never get to meet in person from all over the world. On more than one occasion, I have received something - a kind message, a card, a gift, a phone call - for no reason other than kindness on the other person's part. GH sent me a game after my dad died and I was really depressed. A friend won a shawl in a silent auction and sent it to me after a particularly bad event in my life. Another friend wrote a poem about my first dog after we'd had to have him put down and another friend wrote a fiddle tune for him. Yet another kind stranger sent me a box of shortbread teddy bears from Orkney. None of these people has ever asked for anything in return, it was just an act of kindness. And my cameras were both gifted to me by a friend who felt I had potential as a photographer.
