I might be old, but dammit, I ROCK!
Yes, I just completed the solo guitar tour on Rock Band, and even though I was only playing on medium, it feels pretty freaking awesome. My wife (goddess!) sprung for an Xbox 360, and my mother-in-law (what a sweetie) sent me Rock Band, and I’ve basically been […]

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, […]

Liz’s birthday is on New Year’s Eve (apparently her folks really wanted to claim the deduction ASAP), and since we generally prefer not to go out when it’s going to be a suicidal drunkfest on the highways, we tend to stay in and fix up something tasty to enjoy. This year, as part of […]

Liz took me out to the much-hyped Lola last night for my (slightly belated) birthday dinner. While I enjoyed spending the evening with the woman of my dreams, I thought the whole restaurant experience was a bit uneven.
Bad: It’s dark. Really, really dark. Can’t read the wine menu dark. Champagne […]

Twenty-eight doesn’t really feel all that different from twenty-seven.
In fact, it barely feels like a birthday at all.
Our CEO did hug me and loudly sing “Happy Birthday” right to my face, though. That was a bit… uh… different.

Mood:contemplative
Music:Air - “Lucky and Unhappy”

Last Saturday, my mother-in-law took us to Topolobampo as an early birthday present. I have been trying to find the words to describe the amazing meal that we experienced, but it’s just not working. This will have to do instead.

Chef Rick Bayless, by the way, is a really nice and gracious man, genuinely […]

After working eleven days straight, the weekend–a weekend, any weekend–is almost in sight. Hip-hip-fucking-huzzah!!
In brief: Valentine’s Day. We. Owned. It. Oh, baby, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh! After a year’s worth of fear, worry, and despair, it turned out that two or three weeks of frantic last-minute preparation […]

So, I’ve realized it’s been way too long since my last post. I don’t have a lot of time right now, but here’s the last week or two in a nutshell.

Took Liz to the ER last Wednesay morning. The diagnosis was as we suspected, a ruptured ovarian cyst. She’s had it happen […]

Since we took care of all the birthday festivities a week ago, today feels like only a barely merry unbirthday. I am tuckered out from getting in late last night. Tomorrow is going to be a hassle picking up Grandma’s clock (I have to be in Richfield at nine — ugh!). And […]

It’s time for an update, since I haven’t posted in a few days. Let’s see…Had a nice little early birthday party thing on Saturday night. There were twelve of us once everyone arrived — Jim, gieves, Mandy, Don, Liz’s friend Talitha (or however she spells it), AG.com’s Julie (sort of like “TV’s Julie”, […]
