The Fireside

Wow. This is it.  Today, I've turned 30 years old. I don't feel any older, but I remember when my Dad turned 30, and when you remember yours parents the same age as you, THEN it makes you feel a bit older.  So tonight I'm gathering my closest and bestest and heading out for drinks and supper at a pub. We're going to celebrate the occasion, but nothing too fancy or eventful. Perhaps my 40th will have a bit 'more' to it. Then again, in a few months I am going to the UK. My sister is also getting married, so there's causes for celebration throughout the year.  When I was younger I was hoping to have more accomplished by this milestone. This is by no means a bad thing. This was before I even started college, and before the recession etc. Also, before I decided to write.  I am thankful for being to make it to this milestone. I have been in one or two car accidents (not of my causing, nor was I driving, one was a really close call), and then there...

I myself cannot believe that in a month from now (July 11) I will be thirty years old.  I don't feel it. I feel like '25' seems a bit more appropriate. There are some things I wanted to accomplish by the time I'm 30, but they've been pushed back a couple years. Also, there's Kalvel . I would like to finish writing Volume I in August of 2016 but we'll see if that happens. There's a few other things here and there...places to go, etc. So how will I be celebrating? Nothing fancy. I don't have anything planned, that's up to friends / family etc but there are some things I would like to do. For the 'family celebration dinner' I would like BBQ for supper. Not fussy as to 'what' but something nice and yummy, and summer-y. Beer can chicken, ribs.... with potatoes and perhaps a salad. And beer to drink. Speaking of beer, I really like: - Mill St (pretty much anything, but I haven't tried the summer seasonal sampler yet...
