I turned 61 years old today. The outside temperature in New Westminster, BC reached about 20°C (68°F) but seemed cooler. In fact, I chose to wear long pants rather than shorts this morning. I'm much more at home when temperatures are around 10°C hotter than this. It was a calm and restful day.
However, I couldn't help but recall my birthday last year when it was a tad cooler than this. On this date in 2019, Jay and I explored a glacier just outside of Skagway, Alaska. I had waited sixty years for my first helicopter ride.
