Twenty Four by Melpie

This is the time of year when we all need to take a moment, take a breath and send a great big birthday wish out to the (somewhat?) beloved author of this blog. Yes, that is correct … thai is now another year older (which makes him older than me now and I couldn’t be happier!) so, in celebration of this special day, I took the time out of my schedule to make a birthday greeting in which we could all share!

Now … this is an important birthday … it’s the last birthday before reaching the ever-so-dreaded mid-twenties (although, if you wanna be technical the mid-twenties probably span ages 24 – 26, but we’re just going to include one age in this one, 25) … the age 25 is a scary one and we must embrace all the years before that whole heartedly.

24 might seem old to some of us (I know I’m a little wary of gaining that age in just 10 short months) but there are many reasons to celebrate 24, so I’ve compiled a short list (I was originally going to make it a list of 24 .. but … really, I don’t have that long of an attention span). So here goes nothing:

24 … the number of beers in a case
24 … the number of hours in a day
24 … christmas eve
24 … that show on fox (it kinda goes with the 24 hours in a day, but we’ll ignore that)
24 … the ever important holiday weekend in may
24 … 2 dozen
24 … the number of fingers in a trio
24 … the number of candles on someone’s cake
24 … the number of tries it will take him to blow them out
24 … oh glorious 24!

So on behalf of everyone, happy birthday thai! Have a great day! And may all your birthday wishes come true!

out of sight, out of mind!

Seriously though, Ottawa's too far for a weekend jaunt. But I had an awesome time anyways.
