Ryan's Birthday.... and another Party!

My very awesome wife Jennifer made sure that turning 40 years old was one for the books as she threw me a "surprise" Clue! themed birthday party this past Saturday. And complete with a with a Clue! cake, no less. I got to me a modern revision on Sherlock Holmes. And this Sherlock Holmes would up carrying around a Arizona Cardinals football helmet. Much fun and merriment all around as Jennifer sat us around a specially designed Clue mystery she created.

Was it Dr. Eggward in the zepplin at Southern Illinois University? Or Carny Cotton Candy on the go-kart at Kurt Warner's house? Perhaps even Carribean Guy, with the submarine on top of the Matterhorn? (Of course, that make's zero sense but certainly was a possibility in this game.)

We're not telling.

Back in Boston: A Beantown 40th Birthday

For my 40th Birthday, I got to spend it roughly where I spent my 30th Birthday. In good ole' New England.

I was attending a program for work in Boston and stayed with good friends Clarissa and Jeff. Now I know what it is like to take a commuter train in to work everyday! On my return home, I was awesomely surprised from birthday messages from my cousins Leslie, Karin and Sara as well as additional messages from aunts and uncles. It always is nice to have a great family behind you.

I have that in spades.
