Urban Onramps

No, sir, I don’t. Tonight at 6pm it’s a birthday bbq here at my house with us’s and some friends. Last night, well, I felt like bbq’ing, so I did. Buncha carne. So grilling two nights straight, hot diggity. I’m tired, tho. I slept with no blanket or nothing, on the couch (Sam was taking up space in my bed; he wanted to be close to his mommy; the medicines make him like that sometimes). It went to a low of 72 overnight, maybe 70, so I was fine, but still a bit cold. So I got up and went swimming at the gym. That was basically the best part of my birthday - going to the gym early and swimming a little bit. Peace. You can’t take your cell phone into the pool. So tonight it’s a gang of food, more movie-watching, kids hollering. Bonus: Our friends Elizabeth and Lalo from Mexico City are staying with us for a week. They have a 7-month old baby boy, Josue, who’s a cute one. I switched my urbanonramps host from fatcow to bluehost. Fatcow was just giving me a bunch of low performance issues, and bluehost is about the same price (a tad less) and yet I get 15 gigs of disk space instead of just 1, among other improvements. Plus I’m a geek, and doing something like switching web hosts is really really interesting. Right now I’m transferring via FTP the files from the old account to the new one, while watching The Best Man on USA. I’m about to head out the door to Vons to get my own birthday cake - but no cake this year, I get (drum roll) cupcakes. Kafi allowed Sam to choose my cake, and he chose cupcakes. Oh well. I think I’ll treat myself to some beer. So it’s beer and cupcakes for this birthday boy. Men, don’t act like you never thought of this yourself. Plus tonight I’m going to eat grilled steak with my hands. Watch. It’s my birthday.
