So for my 30th birthday last weekend my lovely wife organized a surprise party for me. I must admit I suspected nothing and was gotten good. I had tried to organize something myself and people kept the ruse up by not committing to the plans. We started our evening off at a great Mexican restaurant, Jalapeno Loco, where we had a delicious dinner. Upon returning home the surprise was sprung. There was much lively conversation. Bill, Kacz, Tina, and I headed down the street to a local bar where we ran into a friend we used to lifeguard with back in the day. We toasted more than once to good times and called it an evening.
During the course of the evening we caught the end of the amazing comeback win by the Bucks against the Indiana Pacers. Which segues nicely into the thoughtful present my wife got me, really good tickets to the Bucks vs. Pistons in two weeks! In addition to the festivities of the evening she and I had gone for a walk earlier in the day after a large late breakfast. We were luckily enough to catch was likely the last nice (upper 50's clear) weather of the year. We walked for a couple miles along a nice stretch of the Oak Leaf Trail that runs along a creek on the West side of Milwaukee.
