It was the biggest week of the year for birthdays here. Nearly a full week ago, the youngest member of the clan blew out the “3” candle. And yesterday the lovely Mrs. Virtus celebrated a birthday that begins with the number “3” and ends with another. In between my league softball team not only won a game but actually did so in convincing fashion, while last night brought the rare Friday the 13th plus full moon combination. All that, and today is both Flag Day and the 239th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Soon, the season will officially change to fit what we already start to feel: Summertime is here!
