I don’t know if other 50-year-olds are like this, but when it comes to major birthday gifts on my wish list, I tend not to bother others about trying to get them for me. For example, if I’m going to take that trip to New Orleans I want to do someday, I need to find a way to save up for it. If someone wants to make me such a gift, wonderful, but I’m certainly not expecting anyone to do such a thing.
