Today I'm coming to you from the field office in Dyer, IN. Last night Laurie and I celebrated Mike's (of Mike and Katie) 30th with some of his friends and a lot of his family. Yes, I have met Shark Hunter Sr. Katie, in typical fashion, organized a fantastic party with great food. She also set up some tables in the back yard/garden area complete with tiki torches. I'm sure she'd want me to make sure you all knew that she set up the tables by herself without any help from Mike. These and all her other efforts made for a great evening and Mike was ushered into his 30's in style.The only real disappointment was the low turnout from the Champaign contingent. I understand everybody had stuff going on, but it was kind of a bummer that only Laurie and I were on hand to represent--south siiiieeeeed! If you haven't done so yet, get up there and see them (looking at you Mckee). I took numerous Cheeseburger blows to the arms and shoulders on your behalf. You owe me.
At any rate, be sure to watch Cheeseburger's condiments for any photos, many of which were taken by moi. I got roped into picture taking. You don't know how uncomfortable it is to walk into a room full of Shark Hunter's relatives and ask everyone to smile. They would, but initially they all had this, "And you would be . . . ?" expression on their faces.
Looks like it's time for soup, so that's it for now. Happy Birthday Mike. 30's just a number. From here on in you're only as young as you feel.
