Hello! You may have noticed that when I was thirty-one, I didn't write in this space very often. However, now that I am thirty-two, everything has changed. I write in the blog every single day (so far). That's because all my days are filled with fun (so far). Let me tell you all about it.

This morning I: slept in, chatted with my parents and brother, browsed the web, and all sorts of other exciting stuff that I'd enter into Twitter if I could figure out why anyone ever enters anything into Twitter.

Amy wore her prettiest dress today, because it's her Daddy's birthday. How sweet is that?

Somehow I managed to play some Crackdown on the 360 this afternoon, and picked up four achievements to finally bring my gamerscore up over 1000, a milestone that I never reached in my first 32 years. There's no need to comment on how impressed you are. I already know.

I also spent some of the afternoon playing around with the camera. If you like overexposed shots of me, today is your lucky day.

In the evening Liz's family came over for dinner. We had fresh pasta with Bolognese sauce. Great stuff.

After dinner Liz tried to kill us all with a chocolate bomb. This so called dessert is made out of brownies, lots of eggs, lots of chocolate and lots of Wild Turkey(!). And it has a fuse. If you have a heart condition, I strongly urge you not to look at the last picture in this post. You might also want to steer clear of this sentence if you're the envious type, because I'm going to tell you that the cake was delicious.

Those of you who ignored the warnings may have noticed that the fuse is a sparkler left over from New Year's Eve. A sparkler is a really fun/impractical thing to put on top of a cake. A regular frosted cake would have been ruined by all the ashes, but Liz was able to remove most of the crud from the hard chocolate shell of the bomb with a cooking brush.
