Damn, another birthday.

I’m not vain; I don’t care about getting gray and wrinkled.

I do care about the new reading glasses in my pocket and the hard

decision my busted knees are making for me.

I swear to God if Daniel gives me a surprise party I’m gonna volunteer

 him for chaperone duty at ALL of Cassie’s dances!

I only want to survive the day. Forget that with this birthday I’m older
than my Mom ever was – how strange is that?

Thank God for Carter and her pragmatic attitude about things. She’ll

halt anything untoward.

“SURPRISE!!!” rang out.

“Crap!”

Jack shrugged into his leather jacket, slamming his locker shut.

‘Damn…getting old. Upside is … no one remembered.’

He walked the empty hall to enter the elevator.

Unexpectedly, Carter lunged through the closing doors, smiling triumphantly.

“Any weekend plans Sir?”

“Fishing.”

“Wow. Sounds fun.”

“Wanna come with?”

“Actually…Yes!”

Astounded, he replied, “Sweet…One hour?”

One hour later, Sam answered her door, with Daniel, Teal’c and a crowd behind
her,

“SURPRISE!”

Jack winced, ‘Ca-rap!’’

At midnight, the party wound down.

“Colonel, it’s present time…”

With a flourish they stood at attention,

“SG-1 reporting for fishing, SIR!”

His grin lit up the room.
