Today is my birthday. I am nearing middle age. When will i start to feel different, more mature? When will i understand and accept all the little nuances that make the world so fucking excellent and hard at the same time?

Last night we had 6 adults and 5 children over for dinner. That would make 8 adults and 9 children in total. I fed them all, socialized and did quite well with very little anxiety. I was very proud of myself. Except that when everyone left i realized i was drunky drunk drunk. The evening was the first meeting of the dad band. Shane is starting a band in his endeavor to complete our new "more fun" lifestyle credo. They are planning on playing 10 songs at the christmas party; including U2 New Years Day, REM One Love, Ramones I want to be Sedated and Hank Williams Nobody's Lonesome For Me.

Today, breakfast in bed. Leisure. Naps. And Wallace and Gromit.
