Happy Birthday Birdie!
In an effort to prevent errors and give recongition to all the sites people are recommending in the comments, I am going to try to put them in the next day's post. Please continue to rock out with Ben. Also, Jef has a site where of his writing. Joan has recently updated. Please let me know if I have forgotten anything.
Today is my car, Birdie's first birthday. I cannot believe that I have had her a year. Seems like only yesterday, I was driving her from Silver Spring to Atlanta. I think this is the first car I have had the has gone on so many road trips is such a short period of time: Durham, Nashville, Silver Spring, Asheville, Atlanta. Phew-- when I write it out in that fashion, it does not seem like a lot. However, there have been multiple trips to some of those destinations. Many of you know that I have a bit of an unhealthy attachment to my cars. I just think of it as my fortress and she has helped me many a time. I am not particulary religious, but I have said quite a few prayers in my car-- asking to be centered before I meet people, calling on courage, or just meditating. Anyway, Happy Birthday Birdie-- I am thankful for all you bring to me!

STP really does sound like the best thing. Or a tire rotation. That sounds like the equivalent of buying her a massage. Then get yourself some cool dice to hang from her mirror. With skulls and hearts instead of dots. Sounds like Birdie would like something like that. Then a personalized license plate that says Birdie. And tint the windows and get a neon strip for her undercarriage. And maybe some hydraulics. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Also: do tell about the date? Did you at least polish Birdie's back seat with your hot love shenanigans? I guess you DID show her off. Like when a parent yells at their kid to practice the piano all the time, makes them feel miserable, then shows them off when company comes.
