Bloggy Birthday

GovGab, the General Services Administration-run blog that aims to show Americans how the government works in their daily lives, is having a first birthday celebration. And to mark the occasion, the bloggers who contribute to the site are writing about what was happening on their first birthdays.

It's a clever idea, and I have only one complaint about it: It's making me feel a little old. So far, only one of the bloggers is in my age demographic, and I'm young enough to make the lame argument that I'm not even a baby boomer. Reading a description of babyhood way back in 1984 makes me feel closer to senior citizenship than I ever imagined.
