T's Big Day

Well, as you have probably figured out from Kev's really nice guest-blog below, it is my birthday. I have to tell you I have been really dreading this whole 37 thing, but if the first couple hours of it are any indication, it's gonna be a good year. Thanks for all the nice phone calls and emails and blogs and comments. My friends and family are cool, and I appreciate you all very much.
Since it is my birthday, and I managed to not have to go to work today, I am going to do fun stuff all day. First I am going to get some happy feet at the pedicure place, and hope I don't get some kind of infection from the whilrpools that people keep warning me about. Happy Feet are worth the risk I think. I am also going to go have lunch with my brother, who was nice enough to call this morning and invite me. (BTW, new LarryFeathers blog is up). In the afternoon, I might go shopping and get a new purse because mine is falling apart. Kev gave me a gift card to that cool place where you go make stuff, so I might go by there and check it out and sign up for a class. I might just even take a nap. And tonight we are going to dinner at Nero's, which is always a huge treat. Fabulous food, exceptional service. So I am going to stop moping about being old and start having fun now. Thanks again for all the nice thoughts.

"Happy Birthday" as well!

According to www.famousbirthdays.com , you share your birthday with "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, "The Woz" (Steve Qozniak, of Apple Computers fame), Alex Haley (the "Roots" guy, I presume), and the Rev. Jerry Fallwell. An interesting mix!
