Fifty-One

May 3, 2024 by Michael Hanscom

Me outside in front of blurred grass and trees, wearing a black cap, black hoodie, and button-up shirt with a pattern of Star Trek division logos. I'm a white man with glasses and neatly trimmed greying red beard.

So this is fifty-one.

We brought little cheesecakes with us for lunch today.

Me sitting at an office desk holding a small chocolate cheesecake.

And I had a small pile of presents to open when we got home.

Me sitting on our living room floor, holding a 'Happy Birthday' balloon, in front of a small stack of colorfully bagged birthday presents.
