I am 39

Here is a belated birthday post.  I turned 39 on New Years Eve.   It was a great day.  We met our family's bbf's, who live in Seattle, halfway between our house and theirs in little western town called Centralia.   The pub where we met was pleasing to the eye but unfortunately the service was terrible.  (Do any of you Pacific Northwest readers find that is often the case with McMenamins?)  The company of friends was so great though, it didn't spoil our time at all.  Then we came home and did the Mess family ritual of fondue, red velvet cake, games and movies.  I'll admit I was in bed before midnight!
