Today is my birthday, and it's been a good one. MLB took a spur-of-the-moment day of vacation and we just hung out together: early and leisurely breakfast at IHOP, 20 mile tandem ride in the delightfully cool weather (saw three tarantulas crossing the road in a two mile stretch), a matinee showing of "Harry Potter" complete with large tub of popcorn and diet cokes, and a decadent post-movie snooze in the living room recliner with a rerun of "The Cosby Show" droning in the background. Pretty dull, huh? Sometimes dull is really, really good. You should try it sometime.

The only downer on the day is that she had to leave to attend a monthly credit union board meeting, so we won't get to have dinner together. But that's OK. The 10 extra hours with her more than offsets the three apart. I'm a blessed man!

Sounds like a perfect birthday to me, except for the Harry Potter movie. Not quite my cup of tea. Happy Birthday, Eric.

Thanks, folks...you're very kind!

Denise, Harry Potter wasn't my first choice; I preferred Dodge Ball, but my wife wasn't crazy about that idea. The movie was completely forgettable, but it's always fun to realize that it's Monday afternoon and you're sitting in a dark theater next to your sweetie while everyone else (nearly) is at work!

Sorry but I couldn't come up with anything more orginal.

Shannon, no need to apologize, but if you're really feeling badly, a down payment on one of those 30" Apple monitors would go a long way toward soothing your feelings.

Hey, I see you're one of the lucky gmail folks!
