To Matt...

Today is exactly two weeks and one day after my birthday. Why do I know that? Because every year two weeks and a day after my birthday my friend Matt catchs up to me. He's 24 today. It's also his dad's birthday but who knows how old he is.

I called Matt today to wish him well and see what his birthday plans were. Nothing definitive so I invited him to bring a group along with me to Aussie Rules tomorrow and, actually somewhat to my surprise, he said sure. I never pictured him as the "dueling pianos" type but I guess he's been a few times and quite enjoys it. So that's done, celebrating two birthdays on one night. Warning to anyone thinking of trying something stupid...you'll have a birthday within the next year too!

I'm also excited for a few other things in my near future. Noel is down tomorrow (always great), Jeff will be here for a weekend of fun, and Costa Rica isn't that far off.


This picture is at least a week old but it shows the amazing progress the workers are having with our place. In the top right picture you can see the columns for our "Palapa". Can't wait to be downing some Bavaria Gold and going for a refreshing dip. Other bit news. It sounds like Brendan may be a late addition to the trip. Just have to see if he can get his passport in time.

So there mom, you don't have to look at a picture of my foot when you log on...but it is just a few lines down.
