Let's all take a moment and wish Bill Gates a very happy belated birthday. At the young age of 49, he's a billionaire. Bill attended Harvard, when he dropped out in his junior year and followed his entrepreneurial dream by starting his own software company. You might have heard of it - it's called Microsoft. I wouldn't be able to have my journal if it weren't for Bill. I'd say he's done pretty good for a college dropout, wouldn't you?
So what do you get a billionaire for their birthday? Somehow, I don't think he would be thrilled with a gift card from Lowes like most men would. And I don't think he'd enjoy a gift card for Texas Roadhouse, either. I think we could cross off tools and clothes while we're at it. Bill gave away $27 billion to philanthropic organizations and charities, so I really don't think he's strapped for cash. So that rules out tucking a twenty dollar bill inside the birthday card. I read that in his spare time, Bill Gates likes to play bridge and golf. So maybe he would like a few decks of cards or some golf balls. Or maybe a few of us could pitch in and we could buy him a new card table for his bridge games.
