It’s official – my big day is over. Almost. Mrs. That Dan Guy continues to surprise me, even after the official celebrations have ended yesterday. We’re seeing a show tonight, and I had a delightful surprise certificate to open, after I returned from running down to pick up our morning coffee. Seems Mac is closer than ever, with a certificate to pick one up in February (or so). This has been one heck of a way to turn fifty!! MTDG - YOU ROCK!!!!

On the interesting and odd side of this big celebration, my weird number thing continued to turn up everywhere yesterday – especially with respect to my birthday. I was seeing 59 and 18 everywhere all day long – played a slot machine with a progressive jackpot of $59, 000 – saw 59 and 18 come up continuously on the Keno screens you see everywhere, and more.

Even the family members here are staying in room 222 in their hotel. By far though, the most bizarre occurrence was when I was standing in line behind a gentleman wearing a hat, which simply read “1959” on the back. Spooky, I swear…. What does it all mean??

Anyway, I’m going to have an awful lot of thank you notes to write after we get back. For now, we are after all in Las Vegas, so I must keep this short and sweet – BET ON RED!!!!!!

Chow for now!
