So I just had lunch with a friend of mine... It's funny how a web of friendship grows. This guy is the soon-to-be ex-husband of a woman who played on a hockey team with a guy who was a friend of a woman who is my wife's best friend. Now, despite the fact that two of thos people on that chain are not people I want to associate with anymore, I can still have lunch with someone at the end of that chain, and realize that he's not at the end of that broken chain anymore, but a direct friend I'd like to hang out with.
Anyway, on that note, my birthday is coming up. Considering that this is my "cruxification year" (I will be turning 33, which was, by many accounts, how old Christ was when he was cruxified), I figure some sort of commemeration is in order. One problem with having a birthday on January 3rd is that many people are still recovering from New Year's Eve and are wholy unprepared to properly celebrate the joyous occasion of my birth. That and at 9 days after Christmas, it kinda pales beside the joyous occasion of Christ's birth. But that's only appropriate: Jesus came to bring the world salvation and restoration to God. All I've got to offer the world is sarcastic one-liners and three very smart and very cute boys... who have their father's sense of humor. Anyway, because of this, I'm thinking about Jan 5th as a possible date. Anyone who knows me well enough to know how my last name is properly pronounced is invited (Note: you don't actually have to be able pronounce it right; I would like more than 1 or 2 people there.)
