Bonus Aries Horoscope (by Rob Breszny):

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Freedom is the most important kind of joy you
can seek right now. It's also the most important subject to study and
think about, as well as the most important skill to hone. I advise you to
make sure that freedom is flowing through your brain and welling up in
your heart and spiraling through your loins. Write synonyms for "freedom"
on your arm with a felt-tip pen: liberation, emancipation, independence,
leeway, spaciousness, carte blanche, self-determination, dispensation.
Here's one more tip: Connect yourself with people who love and cultivate
the same type of freedom you do.

Double Nickels!

I turn 55 in a couple of days. Double nickels! I like to make playlists each year on my birthday that reflect both songs in current heavy rotation and the atmosphere of my life at that point in time. This year's playlist celebrates continuing to live life fully and bravely, having good fun always, and the eclectic musical universe that is my ever-changing soundtrack.
