L to R: Brandon, Brian, Ed, Andrew, Kris

Things that happened during the three days of birthday celebrations:

1. I turned 24
2. Brandon put Abha in a shopping cart
3. Ed took pictures of the ground and everything else
4. I got Javina to play pool and she let me win
5. Ed told the staff at the Union Square Grill to think of some sort of humiliating birthday stunt to pull, so they served me a Banana Sundae arranged as a flaming penis (two scoops of ice cream, one banana, figure it out)
6. Someone filled my fridge with Beer, and it's just sitting there.
7. I went into serious overdraft
8. Nancy also turned 24 today. No, wait, she says 38. And Gabby did too, if you know who that is, but probably also not 24.

9. I did lots of work on my birthday.
10. I wore a tie! Javina bought me two ties and showed me how to tie them. I'm all set to wander into meetings of bigwigs and tell 'em what's what at work. (Which is, of course, my favorite thing in the entire world.) (Work, I meant) (NOT REALLY).
