So today is my birthday! The big 3-2. What a strange 32 years it’s been thus far. Today is going to be a great, and full day, celebrating with family at my Mom and Dad’s house in the suburbs. In that fullness, thanks for your offer, but really, I don’t need any presents.

What, what is that you say? You would still like to give me a present?

No really. It’s ok.

Huh, are you sure? You still want to give me a present and I’m not going to convince you otherwise?

Well, in that case, you can give a one-time $32 donation to The Marin Foundation to support the work I care about so deeply. See our 2013 projects here. If you insist, that is the only present I will accept.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Much love.

Andrew
