Yesterday was Melanie and Amelia’ s 17th birthday, so Jason drove his whole family up to Menlo Park and we went out to dinner. Jason turns forty on Saturday, and Caroline turns twelve on the following Friday (6 April), so we had a big birthday celebration, in spite of the fact that it was raining cats and dogs. I gave out envelopes to to four birthday people, but I later learned that I accidentally shortchanged Caroline by $20, so I will have to make that up to her at my next opportunity. After dinner I read some more on my Kindle, then watched Charlie Rose. I feel good today.
