I’ll say it in person on Sunday, but for the (web) record, happy birthday to the one I love. May your car insurance rates be ever lower…

Highlights from the weekend just past:

• Sucking face in a Japanese restuarant in Fresno while watching a bitchin’ band I like more every time.

• Having lesbians we’d never met buy us drinks at said restaurant/bar because we were such a “cute couple”.
• Realizing that the Wind-up Action Bender really worked and looked pretty damned cool (and being just a little peeved that it’s evidently on sale for half what I paid for it two months ago, so no link dammit).
• The “firestarter” technique. Don’t ask.
• Making it home from Fresno in a new personal record of two hours, twenty-six minutes AND being able to park, despite the rainbow-clad masses.
• Cold Comfort Farm.
• Mushy drunk talk.
• German sausage scramble on a hangover-free Sunday morning.
• Watching the most wonderful boy in the world hit the quarter century mark.

With Mark’s birthday out of the way, I guess it’s time to start pushing mine now. I’ll try to update the wish list shortly. And I think this year’s annual semi-public birthday gathering at Tad’s is on for Saturday 10 August at 8PM. But follow this space for further details…
