concert and a meal somewhere you would not normally go ? or the bumbershoot festival last cpl of years ive spent mine with my kids smoking weed drinking and playing poker

I don’t think Vegas is all it’s cracked up to be. Especially alone. Sticking money in machines you know you’re going to lose kinda sucks.
I think find a city you haven’t been to yet, one with good transportation so you don’t have to worry about having a car. One with some cool natural beauty nearby too. Something about nature just calms me and replenishes me.

In Vancouver I remember feeling how good it felt inside to just be sat there amongst the trees and the mountains and the lakes.

I don’t know what your creative expression may be, but maybe paint a self portrait, write some poetry or prose on your birthday and make it a yearly thing. I dated a girl who did a self portrait every year on her birthday, liked the idea so I stole it. Ha ha!

My birthday just passed. I spent the day playing bridge.
