Yesterday was (would have been) Karl's 36th birthday. We celebrated with a little get together with some of the core friends, lots of food, fun, and enough beer to totally overwhelm my recycling bins. Thanks a million to everybody for making a rough day so joyful.

A few photos are at Flickr.

Yes, that is a poker table in my dining room. Yes, I broke my dining room table the night before my party. Yes, the one with the falling apart chairs that's older than me. Yes, it's sitting out back waiting for large item trash day.

Yes. We had a great time.
