Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. I really appreciate it.

My birthday ended up being a very bad day, but you don't always get to pick the time for bad news.

Anyway, Jaime and I spent a nice quiet day at home, doing a whole lot of nothing. We made a nice meal that consisted of ham, scalloped potatoes, greens, and bread.
Although Jaime and I don't usually give each other birthday gifts, she apparently felt obligated to get me a gift after I gave her one for her birthday a couple weeks back. She got me a cool slicer that I had seen on Good Eats (I love that show). Now I'm able to slice portions of my fingers off, 1/16" at a time! And as is typical, I was able to guess what the gift was before I opened it. I really do have a remarkable knack for guessing the content of a wrapped box.

Thanks again. Here's to hoping that 29 is better than 28.
