On Saturday, I went out to dinner with some friends for an early birthday celebration. I made them promise not to mention it was my birthday coming up to the server since I despise the false hoopla that these places try for. We had a nice time and talked a little about an upcoming trip a couple of them were taking to Europe. I had the simple salmon – which was pretty good, but over-grilled a bit. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, after checking a variety of stores in the area, I finally found a Wii at Target. It was the only one in stock and I stopped my shopping at that point and quickly bought it before someone else scooped it up. <\/p>\n

I got it set up at home without too much trouble – though it’s not well integrated into the rest of the electronics set up at this point – and played a game I also bought along with the Wii sports. I did pretty well with the boxing, but my room-mate won all the bowling matches.<\/p>\n

My tempur-pedic pillow – that I got a few years ago as with some money I won as part of an award at work – is starting to let me down. Or my head was too warm last night. In any case, the pillow didn’t support my neck and head well and I woke up with a horrible neck pain and headache. I took some motrin and went into work anyway since today is the first day of class and I was needed here. I’m much better this afternoon, but still happy that the day is almost done. <\/p>\n

I’m also glad I’ll soon be able to put my hat back on since my hair has grown out enough to be affected by the combination of a wet head and a stocking cap – which occured right after my swim today. I’ve been avoiding a mirror so i don’t know how bad it looks, but I can feel that it’s not behaving – especially in the back.<\/p>\n

Finally, my birthday is tomorrow. I’m not looking forward to it, exactly, but I don’t feel how I expected 36 would feel. The gray hair and bald-spot make me look older than I am, but the swimming and other exercise keeps me from feeling it. Except for last week – I felt really old last week. Dunno why, must have just been tired.<\/p>\n

Well I guess this is one of those posts where not much happened. Hey, they can’t all be amazingly well written. Anyway, time to go home.<\/p>\n

later…<\/p>\n
