Counting Candles Having recently celebrated the 7th anniversary of my 49th birthday (to count Gibbs' way), I can appreciate every single one of her comments about birthdays through the ages [Feb. 8].

No surprises, I said; even our routines already supply plenty of those. No extravagance: we're still in a recession. When I read about Naomi Campbell's $1.8 million party at a seven-star hotel in Dubai (still wasn't enough to save the local economy), or the British retail tycoon who marked his 55th by sending his guests a travel wallet with instructions to meet at a London airport...
