This was the weekend that I celebrated my birthday. Thank you to all the helped me usher in that new phase of life... and, if you have pictures (Scott, Cathy, Joe, Dave), I'd love to have copied from the party since I didn't bring my camera along. It's currently Sunday at 3:30 pm. Yes, I know the faire is currently going on. However, looking at the weather page -- I'm sure all you folks who are out there will appreciate this -- it's currently 98°, but feels like 108°. My good friend, Freon, said I should spend some time enjoying his company today, so that's what I'm doing. So, what happened on Saturday that made it special? A contigency from St. Louis and Kansas City made a visit. It was nice to see y'all. I hope you enjoyed the day even though we didn't get to spend much time together. There was a great drumming group, Kaminari Daiko, that made an appeance. Their first show received a standing ovation. With any luck, they'll be back next year. Check out the pictures of the Puppet and Puppet Master. Neato! And, other than that, good times, great company were enjoyed by myself and Andrea.
