Whatnot

So here I am...the big 2-6. And what a day it's been. Breakfast with some great friends from work...even if I did get my wires crossed and make them wait for me for more than an hour. The omelette was good, courtesy of Stella's Diner, and the company was better.

My wife did a stellar job. I came home to streamers and balloons, GREAT local pizza (thank you Twin Trees II), wings, and all sorts of good fattening food that I love. A cake with homemade whipped cream icing topped it off. Very very good. trust me.

And then the gifts...my rockin kids got me two identical stuffed sharks (Bruce from 'Finding Nemo'). Then they "borrowed" them for the rest of the night. Is n't that thoughtful. It's awesome really. My wife got me some funny shirts (I used to have lots of funny t-shirts before I got old and mature) and 5...yes, 5...Toad the Wet Sprocket CD's to replace the ones that I sold or threw out or something. A very good call, helping me recall 1997 like it was yesterday.

So, yes, a great birthday...I'm feeling younger than I have in years! And very very blessed.
