Today is my brother’s thirtieth birthday.  Somehow his entry into a new decade makes me feel older.  Thirty by proxy.  It’s a funny feeling – sort of like seeing new photos of old people from The Past and their faces have lost all their babyishness and instead are hard and tinged with a slight shade of haggard, as if life hasn’t always been kind.  But it hasn’t, now has it?

I have been threatening a trip to a Korean Tofu House for months now and tonight I am doing it!
