Am I missing something? Every time the topic of my 30th birthday comes up (February 2 for those keeping score at home) people make it out to be this grand event that should be celebrated, and shouted from the tops of mountains!!! To me, it’s just another birthday, just another day in the life.
So what am I missing? Will life be dramatically different for me on February 3? Will my pants no longer fit? Will my bank account be be larger? Do I gain X-Ray vision? What happens that makes turning 30 so important? I think it’s fair to say that most of the population (in Canada) make it to 30, so it’s not a rare event; but there must be something to it. Something tangible that makes people get all crazy!
If you know, let me know. We don’t have much time if special preparations are required of me.
On Saturday evening Dana and Trevor came to have dinner and play “Trivial Pursuit 90s Edition” with us. Dinner was excellent. Trivial Pursuit not so much. The game is great fun, just as every previous edition of Trivial Pursuit is; the only downer is that it is very American – and unless you have a keen interest in American culture, politics, etc from the 90s, you’ll be left scratching your head on many occasions.
It’s hard to believe, but my good buddy Dirty Andy (he’s a dirt biker racer… or at least that the story we’re going with) is engaged! I guess it is about time, as they have a one year old son, and are in their second home together… 
Congratulations pal! Now the pressure is on me… as he and I have had a long standing promise to make the other one our best man, when either of us gets hitched. (And no, this is not the time to start asking about Leah and I!)
