My 30th birthday today
Tonight I'm going to my parents house for a celebratory dinner; tomorrow night Blasted Bill is throwing a party for the birthdays of me, Minion and Narf from The Toad Elevating Moment internet radio show; and Saturday night my friends at Aegis Consulting are throwing an Equinox party on the shortest night of the year to celebrate several birthdays.
There were three gifts I asked for. If you have read the games section of my home website you might know I have been waiting a year for Bandai to release their collectable chess variant Navia Dratp, but according to the Japanese import store located down the street from me, Bandai keeps delaying the debut, which was supposed to have been in October, then January. They don't know when the shipment will come in. Schild's Ladder is the only Greg Egan I haven't read; an Omega Chess set is only available on line. Rachel, lacking an internet connection required to obtain these, got me Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for Gamecube, which is a fantastic game.

Thank you!
So, yesterday my three-year-old niece Bethanne gave me play-dough for my birthday so that we can make scuptures together because she wants to learn how to do it. I'm making a Dora The Explorer figurine out of super sculpey to go with the ones I've made for her in past years modeled after herself and Totoro.
My brother gave me Settlers of Catan, which I have wanted for a long time. This board game immediately became very popular with my family.
I'm very pleased that those who have given me birthday presents have made it a means for them to spend time with me. This is the best kind of gift.
