(This is not the day's post.)
If you are waiting for me to write about Ben's birthday, you will hold your breath for a while, possibly until you black out and fall over. He requested that I keep it the way it was. Private, intimate. Close. He is forty-three now and he says he doesn't feel a day over twenty-three.
I did not know Ben when he was twenty-three, but from what I hear he was a real troublemaker.
Thankfully he still is.
