Birthday.

It's my grandma's birthday today.

Not any birthday. She just turned three digits, and entered the highly selective club of centenarians. I've now got a full century worth of grandma.

I was about to say, and what a darned fucked up century to have lived through, but the one before was only marginally better in some respects and worst still in others. She doesn't talk much about all she's seen, for a variety of reasons, but sometimes I wish she did. The Internet must be unthinkable magic to her, and the world must seem crazy. She's mostly withdrawn from it anyway.

Good going, grandma. Here's to another century.

I don't suppose she'd understand if you said that a polycultural virtualised avatar wolf from the blogosphere had sent her an electronic yowl of approbation, so I'll just congratulate you instead. Well done for having a Century Granny.

Actually, I'd gladly tell her that, to the word, but she can't hold a phone very long anymore and it might take me a while to get all that out correctly. :/ Thanks for the good thoughts, though! *noses*
