I think it's funny that the first song that comes up in my iTunes shuffle is Otis Redding's "I've Got Dreams to Remember." Sample lyrics: I've got dreams to remember / Rough dreams / Bad dreams / Don't make me suffer. What a way to start one's birthday!

So I fired up "19" by the Old 97's as an antidote.

After that, I'm going for "17" by Winger. I'm so not even kidding.

Hmm. What else? "Thirteen" by Big Star would work. Any other songs of this ilk?

My 4 year old cousin Sally just emailed me a happy birthday note:

I think that says it all.
