Happy Birthday To Me!

Here's the "birthday" shot from Benihana's on Guy Fawkes Day, when I turned 50. We had a real good time. I had enough drinks (2) to get pretty loose (for a change), and as you can see, Kyle came with us this time, which always adds humortainment, and everyone was silly!

Happy Birthday, My Love!

Here's Doni's birthday photo, shot at and by Benihana's last September. Isn't Doni beautiful? And look at that happy family too!

It was a nice moment. This Sunday, we plan to go there again for my 50th birthday. I hope it's half as nice as Doni's birthday was...

I sure love you, guys!

A three-week hiatus

Well, I've finished my real estate appraisal class. Monday I take the final. That's the last of several recent tasks, including:
- prep for birthday/halloween party at Stacey's
- practice with new drummer for aforesaid party / having functional band for party
- complete first 80% of class
- complete last 20% of class
- prep for Halloween proper
- teardown from Halloween (still going, but close to done)
...and a few more minor things

Now I'm all done, nothing pressing, and ready to decompress and rest some before Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving marks the start of tree-sales season, which I am not am not looking forward to.
You can read Donita's blog to see what I mean, but for now, I get to relax a bit and catch up on the "normal" parts of my life.
