I'm 32 today. It doesn't show. I still kind of feel like a kid. I want to thank everyone for coming out to the house the other night, especially Bryan and Carol. That's a long way to go! [He knows that, from picking you up 8000 times.--ed.] I'd also add that those cookies were/are outrageously good! [They're whole wheat.--ed.] I don't care if they're made from tree bark and plankton, they're fantastic.
Mike Jones, Chris Baer, Justin Klein, Jeff Ryan, and my family lingered after most people left. We played this game called, 'Farkle.' You can imagine that my brother and I found some creative uses for that word. Try imagining a guy saying, 'Aw, man, I Farkled!' without chuckling. You're welcome. It reminds me of Yahtzee, but you play with six dice and the rules are a little different. If you meet Jeff, whatever else you can say, you have to say that he doesn't live for this world. In any game of risk or chance, there comes a point of decision where the player must say when discretion might be the better part of valor. We informed Jeff that, after a series of amazing rolls that saw him acquire almost half the requisite winning points in only his first turn, he had reached such a point. But he'd have none of it. And just like that, the points were gone. It was horrifying in its insignificantly charming way. The whole table was like, 'Don't do it, Jeff! It's not worth it!' But Jeff Ryan is not known for an abundance of caution. Good times. I missed those who weren't there, though. Besides that, I'll say that I'm glad it wasn't only men at the party. Ahem. I'm 32, but I ain't dead, right?
