How to celebrate an 18th birthday during a pandemic.

I wish I had photos or video, but I didn't know it was happening in advance.

One of our neighborhood kids is 18 today. His parents arranged a motor-parade around the circle with family and friends. People drove slowly and kept wide spaces between the cars with signs for him taped to their doors and honking their horns. A police car drove by with lights flashing and the cop belting "Happy Birthday" at the top of his lungs. Then a fire truck came along and they blew their horns.

Doesn't take much to choke me up these days. We need every moment like this we can get. Stay safe, my friends!

1. Thank goodness my gson had his 18th last year (2001) so he got to celebrate,

but just will probably not get to celebrate or have his graduation ceremony from high school thanks to Republicans.

2. That was a lovely and thoughtful tribute. Kind of the officials to join in also.

4. I had a Zoom bday!

It was different, but I liked it, and it was a good way to celebrate with family and friends that probably couldn't have happened with a real party. It was right after Pennsylvania went on lockdown and there were things my parents were able to get that possibly can't happen now. Not ideal, but I'll hopefully have an interesting story to tell my kids about my 18th!

5. That is what I want to do for my son's 40th

His birthday isn't until late May but I think we can make it work.
