Although Maya turned 21 last weekend she was camping in Maine with friends at the time. Today, our family celebrated her birthday with a Carne Asada dinner and an unbelievable strawberry cheesecake that Jeanine prepared. Afterward, Maya opened her presents. In an effort to be environmentally friendly or as a result of being extremely lazy, I no longer wrap presents. I simply place them underneath suitably sized dinner or kitchenware. This was no problem because my gift theme was everyday carry (EDC) gear which by definition means small and compact. Maya received two different multi-tools, a USB chargeable micro flashlight, a titanium toothpick that can double as a defensive weapon, and “kitty claws,” a key fob in the form of modified brass knuckles. God help anyone who might try to attack her.
