Lots of little tidbits of information to share today..
Today is my girlfriend Jennys 26th birthday! I believe I succeeded again this year in keeping her presents secret, which is no easy task. She’s my best friend, guiding light, and reason for being. If you’d like to leave her a Birthday greeting, head on over to her weblog and leave a message!! Happy Birthday Sweetie!! XOXOXOX
Other huge news: Two of my good friends, Russ and Miriam announced their engagement at dinner with many many friends this past Saturday! The proposal was made during their recent trip to Ireland, and the wedding is scheduled for next June.. Congrats guys, and best of luck! :)
In other travelling news, it looks like Matt is back from his trip to Costa Rica where he apparently made his first ‘legal’ beer run. Thankfully, he survived the attempted kidnapping by free-wheeling drug lords, saved the orphanage from the greedy land owner with the slicked mustache looking to increase his bananna empire, found the lost Incan city buried deep within the jungle, and many other Central/South American cliches – all in the same week! Good to have you back Matt!
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.

Awww Dan, thanks! And thanks for being there for the Big Partay and everything. Word to you, my bruthah!
Happy Birthday, Jen!!! Whee. With 26 you get more respect.
Thanks Dan….now can I have a hint of at least one gift?
Hey, congrats to the two of youse on your happy events! (Well, Jenny, I’m hoping your birthday is a happy day…)
