My third birthday party, December 21, 1968. There are four candles on the cake because there was always "one to grow." That's my brother Chris at the far left — his birthday was two days earlier — brother Dave in the middle, wearing an eye patch for amblyopia, and Mom, creator of festive birthday celebrations (two!) amidst all the other Christmas folderol.

Happy Solstice!
