Birthday Treasure

Last week was my 33rd birthday. Completely unremarkable as far as ages go but still good enough to get some sweet treasure! My Mom bought us a new gas grill which we have used probably 7 or 8 times in the past 10 days. Dana bought me a bottle of Remy Martin VSOP Cognac. My Dad and my beloved extended family (Dana's kin) bought me cigar gift certificates, the true value of which I just received today!

Thanks again to everyone!!

El Dentista


This week we went to the dentist for the first time in over 4 YEARS! It was a frightening prospect to say the least. Fortunately I am somewhat religious about brushing and my overall oral hygiene was quite good. Nevertheless, it did not prevent me from getting my first cavity. I am very disappointed to say the least. I go back this week for my filling.

In other news, I got a bicycle this week. Cycling will likely be my main mode of transportation once we move to Rochester (until winter) so I thought I'd get a head start. I ordered it on Amazon and had to assemble it this morning. We just took our first ride and the wheels didn't fall off so I'd say that's a success. It should also help me shed some weight which would be a welcome side effect.
