　　(2017·郑州市三模)

　　Saturday was my husband's birthday, but we spent most of the time in the car. We were driving to Phoenix for the weekend to celebrate his birthday and see the Warriors play the Suns.

　　My husband is a lucky man. Not only has he lived to see another birthday, but he doesn't mind driving 200 miles to see an NBA basketball game.

　　In the car, his cellphone kept ringing with birthday greetings from family and friends. He put them all on the speakerphone so he could drive with both hands and I could listen in even though it wasn't my birthday.

　　Meanwhile, on the CD player, the Reverend A1 Green began to sing Love and Happiness. A little good music makes a bad road better.

　　Four hours later, we checked into a hotel, got dinner and sat out on a rooftop feeling glad to be alive.

　　We had a great weekend—we ate too much, slept too little and the Warriors, well, they lost. But still, it was all worth the drive.

　　On the way home, I started thinking about birthdays. In our family, we celebrate four in January, four in February, and all the others throughout the year. Mine is next week.

　　If I'm lucky, like my husband, I'll get cards and calls and maybe a few videos. I don't need presents any more. When you've seen as many birthdays as I've seen, the only gift you truly want is to see one more.
