Bloggy Birthday
GovGab, the General Services Administration-run blog that aims to show Americans how the government works in their daily lives, is having a first birthday celebration. And to mark the occasion, the bloggers who contribute to the site are writing about what was happening on their first birthdays.
It's a clever idea, and I have only one complaint about it: It's making me feel a little old. So far, only one of the bloggers is in my age demographic, and I'm young enough to make the lame argument that I'm not even a baby boomer. Reading a description of babyhood way back in 1984 makes me feel closer to senior citizenship than I ever imagined.

Government Executive Staff Correspondent Alyssa Rosenberg takes a look at news affecting the management and operations of the massive federal bureaucracy.
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your mention of Govgab. We're getting the same complaint from a few people in the office. The cure is to keep reading this week as our "more experienced" bloggers post. :)
Jake Posted Thursday, September 25, 2008 8:23 AMHey Tom, I hope my post today on GovGab.gov makes you feel a little better--I'm a 60s baby too. I fuss at Colleen (our 1984 baby) all the time for being too young. But I guess time will cure that problem eventually. :)
Nancy from Gov Gab Posted Thursday, September 25, 2008 8:55 AMHey Tom, I think that is Jake's polite way of saying wait for the old gal on Friday. 1963 is coming up tomorrow. Sorry, no lava lamps!
