birthday

my birthday has already come and gone. they go quick, don't they? what is there to pass along as knowledge after 33 years? not a lot. i realize i have fewer friends year after year, but the friends i do have are for the history books. mom and jack hooked me up with grade-a grilling material. when we finally get a house and a really nice grill, we're going to be set in that department. demitria vastly improved my camera setup with a bag and a tripod. the camera i have is so awesome that the zoom goes so far that the slightest shake by me and the picture's are blurry. the tripod will go a long way to fixing that. also we went out to dinner and had some really good sushi. i was even in bed by almost ten. demitria was joking that it was my perfect birthday. gifts, sushi, sake and being in bed by ten. it was great.

this weekend we're going hiking (if it doesn't snow). and we're going to see a show at the hi-dive. birthdays are still great. you don't have the parties and the people and the commotion like when you were younger. all that's left are the really special parts. the special people. the special moments. the special calls. it's nice. i can handle it.
