Today I celebrate my 64th birthday! But for the last 2 weeks I have been sent best wishes from some of my best friends.
$20 gift certificate and a card from Brooks Brothers- do they consider me a friend or a member of their family?
A heartfelt birthday wish email from my dear friends at Jet Blue.
Two messages from my financial advisor, an email, and a card with best wishes from a bull and a bear.
Birthday greetings from my Lexus salesman and a gentle reminder, complete with business card, that there are great deals this time of year. Little does he know that I had been courting a Kia dealer. But in the end I stayed true to Lexus, was it his yearly remembrance of my special day that paid off or was it that I am not ready to utter the words, "I drive a Kia."
And so at Zero Otto Nove Restaurant, volume up, cue Paul Anka and he inquires "Did you have a Happy Birthday, did you get the flowers I sent you?"
Perhaps moving forward in the social networking era, he should amend the tune to ask, did you get the email, tweet or special 20% offer I sent you?
and then waiters sing serenade you with a chorus of Hoppy Birfhday.... to me.
PS- blogger spell check does not recognize KIA but it does LEXUS. Omen?
