Hello firty-one

For my birthday this year I decided it best to surround myself with family and delicious food. In the span of about twenty-four hours I consumed large portions of massaman curry, pad thai, spring rolls, hamburgers, French fries, ranch dressing, fish tacos, cheesecake, and chocolate.
{That's provolone cheese y'all!}


And did you know this was in existence?
Thanks to my in-laws now I do.

There was also an encore visit to Sundance (Park City).
I was careful to follow all of my previously mentioned guidelines from last year, except I forgot the most important thing: my sunglasses. I have never felt so vulnerable in my life. Naked eyeballs are a major no-no at the Sundance Film Festival and I believe my blunder is the number one reason we saw zero celebrities, unless you count the guy who is in some Cash 4 Gold commercials.

Or a dressed up moose, and perhaps Rosie O’Donnell in a blonde wig.

And possibly Mr. Eko but 99% probably not.
If I had had my shades that would have been less awkward because everyone knows sunglasses are mostly used so we can stare shamelessly, with a little more dignity.

The biggest crowd of the day was gathered around this: a big dog. Look it’s a big dog!

 
But it wasn’t all for naught. Eventually I got asked to audition for a reality T.V. show (which I turned down of course, but it's the thought that counts), got some hot chocolate,

got accosted by a lady,

and finally got spotted by the paparazzi. The whole no sunglasses thing I think threw them off.

And there may have been some tomfoolery with Samuel Adams’ armpits.

All in all I’d have to say it was a fine way to start my one-and-thirtieth year. Cheers!

P.S. I got my so desired new vacuum, and there have been reports that I was found vacuuming at inappropriate hours of the day because I love that dang thing way too much. No comment.

I've been to Sundance once and didn't see one damn celebrity. Not even someone who was on something crappy, like The Bachelor, or something.

Happy belated birthday!
