Yesterday was my 39th birthday and I’m feelin’ fine. I really appreciate all the well wishes, cards and gifts from near and far. My family got me a signed, limited-edition Michael Birawer print of the 2007 Minnesota State Fair (see above) and I also received several new Wii games, DVDs and golf balls.

The day was laid back–it started by taking my oldest to an inventors fair at the local high school. We had lunch at a newer place in Mendota called Lucky’s 13 Pub, which had great atmosphere, but not so great food. After a long nap on the couch, we met my sister and parents for dinner at Tavern on Grand.

Only 364 more days to plan for the “big one” next year…
