Possible.
I got up this morning....... well, make that the middle of the night. It was 4:55 and that little backache that I get from sleeping too soundly was keeping me awake. So I got up and staggered into the sunroom and turned the TV on (no sound)and sat there a while thinking I should have started the coffee. I checked out the weather channel and the inside of my eyelids for awhile. The little backache was gone and there was a little light in the east when a voice behind me said, Happy birthday." That was the first time I had thought of it. I don't get excited about birthdays anymore.
Yesterday, we drove about 17 miles south to visit son Sam and family. When I walked in the kitchen door, the whole place was decorated with happy birthday stuff, including a banner that said happy birthday, Dad. False alarm. It was left from Sam's birthday, about three days ago.
