Sometimes it is a disadvantage to be located in the Midwest and be ahead of my family on the Coast, particularly when I want to call them first thing in the morning to catch up. I am good not to do this, with the exception of course of today. It is my baby brother's birthday today and I made a point to be the first to call. Actually, it is my competitive spirit that drives me to be the first to call both my parents and siblings first on their birthdays. And I ask the obvious question, too, "Was I the first to call you?"
So this morning, a few minutes shy of 8 a.m. I called Alex in California, and gave him a birthday wake up call, he didn't answer of course, which I expected, but still fun.
I can now go throughout the day knowing I beat my parents and sister to calling first!, Yeah, just kidding, but Katina and Mom, make sure to ask who he got a message from first.
Happy Birthday, Alex!
