I’ve heard that the measure of a party’s excellence is how much one hurts the next day. By this metric, I have officially had the best birthday party ever. We wound down around four this morning, and I’ve just rolled out of bed to assess the situation, begin the first round of Advil, and start considering the degree to which I will be human today. My right shoulder hurts like hell from too much Wii Tennis, and I am generally crapulous. (I proclaim these proudly as merit badges earned by devotion to good partying.)
Many, many thanks to everyone who came, and especially to Liz for putting the whole thing together. It’s not often that I get to feel terribly special, so it was a real treat.

It was a super fun party
Congratulations again! Thanks again for inviting us, it was an excellent time!
Thank you for inviting me. I still don’t understand how other body parts hurt when I was only using my arms with the Wii
You ARE pretty darn special, Mike! Our lives would have a big fluffy Mike-sized hole in them without you.
And I’m so glad I didn’t totally suck at Wii tennis!
Wii!
Hee! It was a lovely party, and I’m glad you had an appropriately fun birthday celebration! I’m so glad we could join you!!
(Just before we left, I said to Liz that I feared you might not be a happy camper on Sunday. I’m sorry to hear that I was right.)
Happy (belated) birthday!
Oh, I was a very happy camper, just a very tired and hurting one too. But it was a good tired and hurting, and well-earned.
I don’t know if it could compare with Ari’s birthday. Did you poop blue afterwards? She did.
(Blue poop from the totally awesome and frighteningly colored princess birthday cake she had.)
P.S. Happy bday.
Thanks for having us!
(mmm. cheese dip.)
It gets better in the 30’s.
Happy birthday to you!
luv

Bwah! I was wrong again THIS year - WHY do I keep thinking your bday is the 5th?!
Sorry I’m late - but I’m very happy to hear that it was a wonderful one! All the best wishes from up north!
