7 Minute Miles

Closing in on Forty


This guy paid me a visit today on my thirty-eighth birthday. I’m not sure what kind of woodpecker it is, but this one was much larger than the downeys we’ve had recently.

I spent most of the day goofing off and it felt great:

  • Visited the Target, CompUSA and Best Buy video game, HDTV and computer departments.
  • Played a bit with Windows Vista and will write some more thoughts about that soon.
  • Answered just a couple work-related phone calls and emails.
  • Got a haircut, had lunch at Zantigo and dinner at Fuddruckers with my parents.
  • Received lots of great presents, phone calls, cards and emails–thanks to all of you!

Now I just need the Wild to hold on and beat the Blackhawks tonight…
