Summer Summer

Anna-Claire turned 30 and had a party at her adorable new house. There was a “Gods Must be Crazy” costume theme, hence some of the strange party-wear. Ginny, as always the amazing gift giver, gave us both metal prints, mine was of Chuck! I love sharing my birthday with Anna-Claire every year. It’s like having a well spoken, older and more respectable twin.


For my birthday in Virginia Beach – Mike, Mike & Emily took me out for sushi at Kanpai. We got to eat at the floor table!



Mike’s friends Parker and Leah got married at this crazy Japanese garden I never new existed in Virginia Beach. It was a small family wedding and I was honored that I got to be there. At the reception a standard poodle climbed the fence to hold my hand.

Earlier this month we went down to Wilmington, NC to get Mike’s gigantic tattoo started. I really like the illustration and I think Mike will be really happy with it, he’s already delighted with the line work.

Electronic Castaways

Ginny turned 27 this week. A-C made a Mighty Boosh themed birthday dinner at Kobe on Friday. I think Ginny liked it – so it was a success! I think Japanese steakhouses are fun even though I don’t eat the meat.

July Ladies


Happy Birthday my lady friends (Anna-Claire, Allison, Thara & Marie!)

Charm City Hamburgers

This lovely hamburger cake was a gift from my coworkers. Hands down best work birthday ever! I got to hear the birthday song in Russian, Spanish and English. I wish I could have it as a fake cake and keep it forever… yes those are googly eyes.

PS – I’m posting from Ginny’s guest room, we are embarking on a journey to the Liberty Bell (Lindsey Martin) tomorrow.

Not my birthday

Dan sang happy birthday to himself today. I would bake him a cake if I thought he would eat it. I would buy him a drink if he weren’t so straight edge. I will not disclose his age (hint: closer to 40 than 10?)
