Happy Birthday Ryan my friend! I hope that many wonderful things come your way. You definitely deserve it. (Mostly you just really deserve those 1,000 virgins that you have always wanted)
Thanks everyone, I sure do appreciate it. I had a nice mellow birthday, but got a very sweet gift - a return ticket home to Vermont. (a good job offer). So, about a week from today I'll be back home in my beloved Green Mountain State.
that is a sweet gift..... when i get my job in masschusetts (thinking postively).....paintingjames and i are going to have to come visit you.....
that would be very cool - Burlington, where I'll be is perhaps the best town for live music in all of New England, so you'll have to come up. Also, Vermont is a land of vast forests and great hiking / skiing / camping etc, so no shortage of fun things to do.
