So, today I turned 48. It was a pleasant day. The weather has been beautiful. I got some nice gifts (mostly DVDs, including the new "A Mighty Wind" release). I broiled myself a birthday cake (oh, you mean I should have set the oven on "bake"?) and made some banana ice cream. I got multiple wishes for a happy birthday from various members of my family (though Fimion never bothered to mention it, even as we went out for a celebratory dinner and had cake and ice cream (see above) afterwards (actually, is it technically cake if it was broiled?)). Also, the lumber for my on-going project of rebuilding my deck was delivered (happy birthday to me!). All in all it has been a good day. Hey! I have even posted to my blog!
