so, i sure had a birthday alright.

i’m 29 now and feel basically the same, except for the fact that i know i must be getting older because i have the resources and ability to coordinate epic weekends like the one we just had. that photo captures the best part of it for me: hours of lounging in the sun in the pool or hot tub, beer in hand (make that an endless stream of beers, really), surrounded by friends. it was glorious.

i’m pretty lucky to be able to do things like this and have a slew of great people show up to enjoy a day like this with me, some even flying in from out of town. if i were as successful in all other aspects of my life as i’ve been in making and maintaining a long list of good friends, i’d be rich and famous enough to buy a place like this for myself and not just rent it for the weekend.
