I received some very nice birthday cards and gifts today. A much needed new wallet, some winning lottery tickets and gift cards were among the swag. As nice as these all were I must say that the absolute best gift, something I have been looking forward to for several months now came from my daughter. We were playing near and far where I made her run away from me and then back to me. After a couple of times she really liked it and gave me her very first giggle. I kept doing it and got about four giggles out of her. It's hard to describe why but it made me so happy. In the past I was somewhat apprehensive about fatherhood but moments like this really throw all your doubt out the window.

Happy Birthday Daddy, just wait until your grandchildren come, its more precious that you can imagine.
so did you catch the fireworks show we planned in your honor last night?
I sure did. I just couldn't figure out why the birthday celebration had so much content about Chinese history.
