Well, now that the day is about over, I'm going to have to concede the fact that I am now 33 years old.

However, thanks to my friend and employer Joe, I don't have to act it. :–)

Jodi and I, and 15 of my fellow employees, ate lunch at Joe's Real BBQ in Gilbert, AZ, which has mouth-wateringly good beef, pork, and chicken barbeque, and gives you a free lunch on your birthday (complete with drink and birthday cake). Wooooo me!

Finally, Jodi and I want to see The Terminal, the new Tom Hanks movie. It was really good. I think the movie is a character drama, often comedic but with a poignancy that did not, for me, descend into sappiness.

All in all, a great birthday. Jodi is my best friend, and she really cares about making birthdays special. Thank you so much, love, for your deep heart and thoughtful ways!
