Birthday 2020

This is the 5th March that my wife has given me a birthday gift every day of my birthday month.  The main difference in this year’s celebration from previous ones was the COVID-19 pandemic coming into full swing in the middle of the month.  Plans for spring break travel and a party with lots of friends gave way to smaller celebrations, staying at home and tightening the circle of people I regularly see.  The daily gift gave some consistency to a year where everything is changing every day.

I would like to use this post as an opportunity to say thanks to my wife and document this year’s gifts.
