Happy birthday, Mr. Q!
Happy birthday to me!

This birthday announcement has been brought to you by me on my behalf.

As I think back to my birthday post from last year, it's amazing to me just how much has happened in such a short time. I won't summarize here, you can simply review my blog archives for the highlights.

But 2005 promises to be more interesting as I venture into the challenges of running my own business (God help us all!), working on a book project (more details later), and generally trying to keep my creative juices flowing. 2005 also promises to be a little more entertaining as I don't have a silly job that keeps me away from what's important to me all the time, so I won't be the cog in the wheel of trying to met up with old and new friends and be much more social than I've been able to be. That and Anna got a Texas Hold 'em Poker Set for Christmas (one of the genuine articles, not some cheap plastic knock-off) and we've been learning to play. We've already had one very small Texas Hold 'em party, with another coming up in just a couple of weeks.

And what better way to kick off 2005 than with my annual birthday trip to the Magic Time Machine? No, it just doesn't get much better than this!!!
