Today is my birthday. It was a great day – one of those, “I get to do whatever I want because today is my birthday” days. I slept into 11:00 a.m.! I can’t remember the last time I did that. I then watched the San Francisco Giants claw their way to another victory. My wife then took me to see Halle Berry in Catwoman (MEOW!) and then we had a nice dinner at Johnny Carinos. After that we came home and watch Trading Spaces while many gifts were bestowed upon me. My wife, Andrea, gave me a jigsaw, a personal electric grooming kit, and Avril Levigne’s latest CD (all by request). My cat, Nutmeg, gave me a long snuggle on my chest while I watched Trading Spaces (completely on her own – you can’t ask a cat to do that).

If only every day could be so good.
