Twenty-Five

Well friends, it's been twenty-five years since the auspicious day of my birth, and what a birthday it's been! I've heard from some old friends, spent some quality time with my spouse, received some delightful gifts, gone to a movie, and now -- well, I'm writing to you on this blog!

My wonderful wife asked me what kind of cake I wanted, and I jokingly said, "Oh, I don't know, a Hanging Gardens of Babylon cake?" The end result was pretty good, actually, in both appearance and taste. Certainly worlds better than anything I could ever do. Under all that decoration it was a chocolate cake, with smooth mixed berry filling spread between the layers. I couldn't help but smile as I wolfed down a doorstop-sized piece. We ate it at my in-laws' place, so though the cake was spectacular, it wasn't very long-lived.

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. It's been a fabulous birthday, and I have you, my friends and family to thank for it. So, thank you!

Happy My 25th Birthday Everyone!
