Birthday | La fin
May 12, 2008
Evident differences between year 21 and year 22:
Reduced appetite
Reduced quality of sleep
Increased beer tolerance (taste)
Decreased beer tolerance (effect)
Less worrisome
More worries
Emma is here. Again.
Overall, it was one of my best birthdays, better even than the time I turned ten and took eight friends to see Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco.
Pirates game (with these three).
Is the unplugged, outdoor-loving world ready for an all-blogger softball team?
“Coach, what’s your position on twittering from the outfield?”

All-bloggers softball team?
I just hope it’s a very, very soft ball :P

I think the players and base coaches should use Twitter to give signals :)

Any kind of sports team made up of all bloggers FTW! I love it when “geeks” translate into the “real” world.
Also - Happy birthday!

And, oh yes, there were cupcakes. Glad you had a good one!
(Nice to have met you, Emma!)

I definitely have found that to be true. Although alcohol of various forms is becoming more palatable, my tolerance has just gone all to hell. I think I did the majority of my life’s drinking between 18 and 20.
Well, here’s to sipping a single glass/bottle of something nice!

Happy Birthday - I’ve always wanted to make it to PNC Park!
And an all blogger softball team would be a disaster - there would be no force outs because everyone would be trying to tag everything.
Sorry - that was the best I could come up with this early.

Happy birthday! and wow! what a view from that ballpark!

Again…happy birthday. Funny how the beer thing works isn’t it?

Woy- Nice to meet you too. Don’t let the Yinz softball team down.

Baseball! Eee!
And yes, beer magically starts to taste a lot better around 22. I think it’s because you run out of liquors that don’t give you unpleasant flashbacks, so the increased percentage of beer intake leads you to better tasting microbrews.
Or that might just be my latent alcoholism talking.

I’d be all for an all-blogger softball team! I love softball.

hahaha okay that clearly says “beer” but both instances i read as “bear”…and i thought to myself “weird…how often does rachel see bears that her tolerance for them has increased in the past year?”

Glad you had a good day, n’at.
