BLOCHO'S TACOS

The first time I visited Argentina, I was wearing my "Maddy" nameplate necklace and someone thought my name was MayDay.  Since then, I am known to many as MayDay. Today is May 1st.  Official May Day .  I feel like it's my birthday! I usually do not like celebrating my birthday.  Lots of fuss for just a day and then everything goes back to normal.  I often find them disappointing.  Plus, who wants to get older?  However, I love celebrating other people's birthdays and making them feel super special.  One of my dad's memorable birthdays was a few years back.  We had dinner with his mom and his dear friends from business school (who have daughters the same age as my sister and me!) and we ate at the late Mesa Grill, a Bobby Flay favorite. My dad's birthday "cake" My dad was so happy and loved the degree to which we celebrated.  Nothing over-the-top.  Good people, good food, happy times. Admiring our "Happy Birthday" ...

I have lots of isms.  Well, really they are my life theories that I try and phrase succinctly.  Yes, my tell-tale sayings or phrases that describe a situation.  That is an ism. When George Bush was President and said some silly things they were coined Bushisms. I want to coin MayDayisms.  I have lots of philosophies on life that I believe others deserve to hear.   I have been thinking about devoting an entirely new blog to my MayDayisms and musings.  I muse a lot. Thanks to Google for these 2 very helpful factoids about isms: Pretty interesting that the use of "ism" has increased in the past 60 or so years.  Can everyone have their own type of ism?
