One year from today, I will have an awesome party to celebrate my 40th birthday.  Which means, yes, today is my birthday.

OK, maybe the party won’t be right on my birthday since it will be in the middle of the week, but I am going to do something special next year. That means you have a year to plan for my present. And I will probably have bought a Wii by then so cross that off your list.

I think the past year was a pretty good one. Since my last birthday, I have gone to Vegas for the first time,  defended my summer cornhole championship, managed to keep my job, watched a lot of TV and played a bunch of video games. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

I don’t have too many goals for the next 12 months. Sure, I want to write things that people want to read and attract more people to visit the site and listen to my podcasts. I also want to visit Vegas more than once before my big party. I want to win a national championship on NCAA08. I want to lose some weight. I want to find ways to visit with friends who I don’t see often enough. I want to get better at the guitar. I want to continue to appreciate good beer and tasty food.

The regular stuff, you know?
