Happy Blogday!

Well, 34 years old doesn't seem all that long once you've gotten there...

Yesterday was my birthday which was spent as quietly as two young sons would allow. Spending time with them is eye-opening in many ways - none of which I will talk about right now since I've only got 5 minutes before bed... ahh bedtime, something once hated and now nearly revered.

I spent a fair bit of time on the phone with the folks in Virginia, got Mom started on her own blog (check out the link for Me Mum), and wandered around my cousin Eric's homepage. Geez I miss that guy. It seems like yesterday we were spending nearly every other day together.

Well... more soon. Yeah - I'm a sloooww typist.

Happy Birthday Chris!! I remember the joy and pride on your Dad's face the day you were born.I got to the hospital and poked my head in the door and asked if your mom had
her baby yet. The nurse said "Yes, You wan to see?" And she flips up the blanket she was carrying and there you were!!! There were no food courts in military hospitals in the wee hours of the morning in those days so he treated me to steak and eggs at an all night radio station/restaurant in DC. I walked on the sidewalk but I think he floated!! He had a son!!! We listened to Chicago as we drove my the monuments that night...It was a priviledge to be there.

Thanks!! Yeah Mom is always saying she remembers that day like it was yesterday, despite the fact that sis arrived with much more fanfare, er - NOISE!!! Ha ha!!

It's a mathematical given that when a women enters the room (is born?) the noise level increases.

Oooh HazMatt... your blog link just went down a couple notches dude. Let's just say that in years (percentage-wise) you're catching up at an alarming rate... although your mind will never do so.

Can't catch me... oooooo! Hot! Tsssssss.... you just got toasted!

Btw... it took like 34 nanoseconds for me to type this one (in dog years).

I was about to add another comment of the "omg, you are ancient" variety, but then noted that half of my net-speak-using and over-punctuated family members had beaten me to it.

Happy Birthday :D
