omg, 70?

i was born at old crawford long hospital on linden ave, which, miraculously, remains intact, and at least from the outside, with few changes --- designed by eugene wachendorff (1880 - 1957), built in 1911, with a six-story addition on the west side added ten years later

dexter and i felt the same way about waking up this morning, but we coped

as i'm coping with another round birthday --- 70? for realz?

 perfect weather, perfect time of year for the river

and i had a very cordial call from my brother this afternoon, no yelling or anything
