Dan's in Ann Arbor at the moment, downing beers at an old college hangout with a couple old college friends.

That gives me four days to recover before we go out to dinner for our anniversary and three whole weeks before we introduce her to everyone at my birthday party. And it's a nice birthday, isn't it? But I'm trying to be open to the fact that she could come ( Read more... )
