It’s my birthday

by

Turning 36. What does that buy me? Let’s see…at 15 got my permit, 16 my license, 18 could vote and smoke, 21 alchol, 25 rent a car…um…what other milestones are their except getting older? AARP? Social Security?Depends?

Anyway, today was great. I had lunch with my awesome wife. We then closed on our house. What a great b-day memory. I’m very excited and am glad I have mastered telekinesis so the move will be effortless. Sarah got me the Wii fit and Jack a Wii “rayman raving rabbit” game. Now we just have to get the game console unpacked and set back up. The “rabbit” game looks right down my alley…stupid humor. And the Wii fit will help me reach 37. Thanks to my sis-in-law for the Amazon card. I’m sure something Wii related will come to me UPS ground next week.

Dinner was a trip to Chuck E Cheese, My choice. The pizza is much better than it once was. I remember it as being just better than ketchup on a cracker. Now it’s pretty tasty. Jack and I played many a game while Sarah and Tony watch all the action. The flashing lights and whirling games wore Tony out…and Sarah too. Now, on the couch with my bride…Dell lap top on my lap…Mac on her’s.

This has been quite a year. I am very blessed. Thanks for all the b-day greetings. I’m sure that there is some milestone I broke today. If nothing else I’m in my late thirties now. Hot damn!

    Happy Belated Birthday! I know what you mean about milestones. It seems once you are older than 25 there isnt much to look forward to when turning a year older. But it sounds like you had a great day anyway.
