Jayhawk in Texas

I grew up in Kansas. But one job hunt and hiring later, we are now transplants in Texas. We have not missed the strange weather we were used to and everybody here seems genuinely nice. This is my attempt to keep in touch with my friends from all over.

It is here...

Another birthday for me. I really don't mind birthdays. Last year, we had a big celebration; this year I think it will be more low keyed. I always figured if I am not getting older than I am six feet under. I prefer aging, personally.

The weather is beautiful for my big day. Mid to upper 60's. I have received some emails from co-workers wishing me happy birthday. I had someone from my group send out an email advising people of my birthday. I, of course, was not copied on it.

My brother, who lives in KC, and I miss since moving here, called to sing off key Happy Birthday to me. This is a time honored family tradition. And it is not so hard b/c none of us can really sing.

My birthday wish is that everyone has their health, are happy and enjoy the day!

More later!

Welcome to blogville. It's a lot of fun. I got your email and will be emailing you back shortly, but wanted to sing at you in my very own (totally) off-key way first!

Hey Julie,

Yes, I am very new to the blogging and hopefully will get up to speed pretty quickly. Mike keeps telling me I am not blogging enough (it is hard to compete with a geek though). Good to hear from you - take care friend! you are one of the people i miss most in Lawrence!

Marti-
I got your Christmas card in the mail yesterday-thank you so much!! Followed the link to Mike's site, which lead me here. Glad to hear Texas is going well; we miss you very much here in Lawrence. Hope you had a good birthday. Tell Mike and Matthew I say hello, and have a very Merry Christmas! Drop me your email sometime; I seemed to have misplaced it (big surprise).
