Ten

Peter Rukavina

Porte 10

[[Oliver]] turns ten years old today. As a special bonus, if you’re numerically inclined, this birthday brings him back to the binary number system he was born into (he was born on 10-01-00 and today is 10-01-10).

Today also marks the day that [[Catherine]] and I have been together as parents longer than we’ve been together as non-parents (who knows, someday we might even find the inspiration to get married; although after 19 years I’m not holding my breath).

You know how some kids spend their first months looking sort of lifeless and dough-like, as though their facial expressions need time to slowly boot up? That was not Oliver: he spent his first 48 hours essentially unconscious, and then, as though a switch was flipped, he just turned on, fierce personality and all:

Brand New Oliver

Happy Birthday, Oliver.

Happy Birthday, Oliver! Someday when I bring my whole family to the Island for visits with relatives, we’ll stop by and say hello; we have a son, Jason, who’s your age and seems to share many of your interests.

Happy Birthday Oliver! The next time you’re in San Francisco, I’ll get you an especial treat at Miette in Hayes Valley!
