The Quarter-Century Mark Sounds Old

Thanks to Gina's expert party planning, I had a wonderful 25th birthday weekend, and the fun will continue into this coming weekend when Mom and Annie meet me in Blacksburg (weather permitting). A bunch of us had dinner at Fairfax's Blue Iguana (the swordfish was tasty, even if hundreds of fishermen had to swim the ocean to bring it to me). Afterward, we headed back to Coors Park for some old-fashioned goofy pirate-themed games and a non-pirate-themed murder mystery game. Thanks to everyone who came to the party, sent well wishes, and generally made me feel warm and fuzzy inside and glad to be alive! Sorry that murder mystery took so long to figure out, too...

Just go ahead and take a look at the pirate party pictures, ok?

And that's it for tonight. Still no success on the site upgrade, since class drains all time.
