Hello everyone! I just thought I’d take a break from a fantabulous birthday to check in with you all. It won’t be a long post, because I still haven’t written in my Birthday Book, and I still have dinner out at a local Korean restaurant (I heart kim chi) and the newest episode of Lost to look forward to. And some candlepin bowling w/amigos this weekend (pop quiz: do you know what candlepin bowling is?).

Seriously, though, it’s been a great day. There were about 5 inches of heavy snow to contend with (curses, out-of-commission snowblower!) - but I took advantage of the time to contemplate birthdays past, trying to remember as many as I possibly could. There are surprisingly few gaps in my memory of the 33 birthdays gone by. Most conspicuous among the gaps are all of my high school years - guess I’m still blocking them out for some reason. I never understood that “best years of your life” b.s. about high school - let me tell you, the years just keep getting better and better as far as I’m concerned.

Like today, for instance - my lovely wife bestowed upon me a portrait of “our dog Nola trying to steal spaghetti from Dash”, painted by Rachel Rifat (done in the style of her commisions for Rob Williams). What could be better!!?!?!?

Children’s Music Giveaway

I also wanted to announce the winner of the Birthday Children’s Music Giveaway. Congratulations to Angela the Cajun Mama, who won a copy of the Dan Zanes CD Catch that Train. Thanks to all who stopped by and entered the giveaway, and please keep your eyes peeled for upcoming Children’s Music giveaways (some cool stuff on tap - like Gustafer Yellowgold DVDs). Now back to the celebration!
