I know I’ve said it like ten different times, but last night my wife and I had dinner with her parents to celebrate my birthday early. We met up at a local Thai place called Thai Basil. Sarah and I had unsuccessfully tried to find this restaurant before because it’s in a strip mall and it’s off to the side around a corner near a Taco Bell, right where you think the complex has ended. But it’s one of those tricky places that once you find it, you’re happy to find it, and you’ll never forget where it is. As a whole, the food was phenomenal, and the saki that I accompanied my dinner with was splendid: very light, just like my father-in-law said.

On top of all of that, they gave me a nice dress shirt, sweater, polo shirt, and a nice pull over knit-shirt and a BestBuy gift card. And while it might be laughable to say that I really love getting clothes from them as a gift, I mean it in all honesty. Why?

If you take a look at what I’m wearing there (I’m in the brown sweater with the shirt under it, if you don’t know what I look like), it’s actually my birthday gift from them from last year. And its what I wore to my rehearsal dinner. My mother-in-law (here in Florida) has an amazing taste and style in clothes–something that shouldn’t surprise you from someone who’s a former Miss Oregon. They’re colors and combinations that I normally wouldn’t be picking for myself, but I’m happy that she finds them for me. Whenever I have to do shopping for business clothes, I might have to take her along with me. I was lucky enough when I married Sarah to end up with two amazing sets of in-laws, and I don’t forget it.

But that was a heck of a way to start off my week and kept me on a nice up note…

And thank you to everyone who’s registered and downloaded music. I was surprised to see that I’d transfered half a gig worth of data this morning with downloads, and I’m glad that I have 10 gigs worth a month. So all in all, if I ever get too close to my limit, I’ll probably take them down for a few days. I doubt I will. But if it becomes so much, well, hopefully donations to the site via my PayPal button on that page will help me up my hosting plan for a bit more transfer a month. We’ll see.

So if you were waiting for the announcement, my music is live and available for download. I’m going to start recording the “greatest hits” album maybe on Wednesday this week, and from there, we’ll see how that one goes. Looking forward to it for sure.

This week is just a whirlwind, seriously.
