The Big Three Zero

Wow, my 30th birthday. This could be a time for a lot of self reflection, but I just haven’t managed to stress out about this date yet. I’m way too busy and life is going great! Victoria and Wolfi threw me a surprise birthday party on Thursday night during our weekly Walzwerk get-together, and surprised I was! I was prepared for something for this date, but it just hadn’t occurred to me that we would celebrate before the actual date. Really cool, a lot of people came out and I got more white chocolate out of than can possibly be good for me. Picture courtesy of Wolfi.

So, what am I going to do on my actual birthday? Setting my alarm for 4am to catch the men’s 20km Biathlon live on TV, for one. Because it’s something that I have liked to do for a long time, and if American television gives me the chance to catch it live I will take it! Watch the first NASCAR (show) race of the season with Victoria tonight, as well. Sleep and go out hiking a lot in-between to make up for all the TV. And open the remaining presents from everybody. Which reminds me…I think I’ll have to leave now!
