Happy Birthday Dagny!!!

Happy Birthday... and welcome to the Mac Cult. :-)

and just a reminder, you can only be 29 for a century or so... then you have to own up to the fact that you're 30.

Woa...

I didn't realize it'd been three weeks since I last posted. Crazy huh...

Anyways, in those three weeks, one or more of the following may have happened:

1) I shave my head... again.

2) I had my first annual review at work, and did very well. I got a decent raise out of it, though it doesn't start until next month.

3) I went to the Nationals first home game at Nationals Park - creative name there. It was an exciting win thanks to Ryan Zimmerman's walk off home run in the nineth.

4) I almost choked on a piece of pizza. Blah.

5) I finally got around to doing my taxes... but I still haven't sent them in.

6) I had a nice conversation with Senator Chuck Hagel about his new book, America: Our Next Chapter. I like what I've read of it so far... and I've always liked Sen. Hagel.

7) I took the six a.m. flight from Baltimore to Cincinnati to go visit my parents. It was a nice trip home, but the waking up early all weekend part of it kind of sucked.

8) I had a quick vacation to visit my cousin in London. We didn't do a whole lot, other than walk around and hang out... but it was nice.

9) I found out that a friend of mine gets paid by the US government to browse porn. He has a very respectable job too.

10) I got nailed in the balls by my four year old cousin's head. OUCH!

Anyways... that's about it. It was a busy three weeks.

Also, I love Happy's tail. It's like this poofy white flag. It's fun. :-)

Oh... I almost forgot...

11) Found out I may need surgery on my shins. Google compartment syndrome. Suck.
