kellinatorToday I hit the big 3-0 and I am so thrilled. All day I've been practicing important phrases I will now need like "you kids get off my yard!"
Actually, I'm not kidding. My late twenties were better than my early twenties, and the older I get the less I feel compelled to try to impress other people and the more I just enjoy being myself. Some birthdays in the past I've fretted over all I haven't accomplished yet; this one, I can look at what I have done and be pretty satisfied with it. I think this is going to be a good decade.

But they tear it up (not that it needs a lot of help to look shitty) and can't catch what they throw so our cars get hit. Ended up timing it perfectly to get one kid in trouble with his mom. It was awesome.
