Happy Birthday Dad!

I would like to wish my dad a Happy 42nd Birthday (or really his 60th). Sandi was so excited she couldn’t contain herself.



We all celebrated my dad’s birthday this past Saturday. We went to Outback and had a wonderful dinner. We called ahead and still waited quite awhile (the walk-up wait was 2+ hours). My dad had a soda spilled partially on him by our waiter. The good part about the spill is that we all got free dessert (woo-hoo Chocolate Thunder, Hot Fudge Sunday, and Raspberry Cheesecake).

This incident reminded me of the Great Soda Spill of 1986. My sist…..err a girl named Vicky went to dinner with her baby brother and father at Pondarosa. She was going through an awkward stage. She insisted on carrying the tray to the table that was holding three sodas and some silverware. She proceeded to spill all the sodas onto the table while placing the tray down. She then proceeded to spill another drink on the floor while getting up to go to the salad bar. The finale was a two person casualty spilling of soda onto her and her baby brother. I think I’m going to have this incident re-enacted and captured on video so it can be passed on for generations to come. (This is a great inside family joke for those of you who I've confused).

You'll do anything to tell that story. You should be careful or I'll have to tell the story of the boy who wore his spiderman costume every day for like a year. Or worse...we really don't what to go down this road do we.

You cannot threaten Spider Man. I'm going to find my bathing cap, then you better watch-out!
