Every once in a while, I get an urge to run - to just keep driving and see where I end up. I've only given in once, and I made it to the other side of the world.

Today was a beautiful day in Georgia. I'm having a hard time typing because the fingertips on my left hand are quite sore. I sat in Piedmont Park and played guitar for about an hour while Kerry, David, and Ben tossed a football over my head. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and I was singing. I even tossed the ball around for a little bit. I got progressively better at it as time went along.
Before we hit the part, we went over to Hand in Hand in the Highlands for cheap beer and pub food. Their fish and chips is really good - almost as good as Hooley's in Guangzhou. I introduced them to the Skittle game where you ask a yes/no question and let three colors of Skittles decide the answer. I've not met anyone who doesn't like that game.
I really can't get over how gorgeous it was outside! The nice temperature and breeze were perfect. The kites in the park were so nice. There were also lots of cute children there that entertained us.
Last night was Jennifer's birthday party. I went to her place around noon and helped cook. She let me do all the fun jobs while she did all the hard ones. We made so much food. I assembled the dirt cake and helped make cream puffs. The food was really good and I think everyone had a good time. I know that I did, especially after the red wine.
Here's a picture of me, Kerry, Jesse, Brad, and Jennifer. I'm trying to make a disgusted look at the state of Jesse's hair, but I couldn't stop smiling.

I have been inundated recently with funny things from YouTube. It makes me very happy. The funniest thing, by far, is "The 'Yes' Dance". It's quite vulgar, but there's a certain part of it that is incredible.
I'm trying to teach Eli the "Let's Do the Fork in the Garbage Disposal".
Also, this week, I stumbled across the comedian Tim Minchin. He sings really funny songs. The first one I saw is called "Taboo"
If you rearrange the first three letters of the word he's singing about, it takes it to a whole new level.
I watched pretty much every video on YouTube that had his name in it. He's very talented. One of my favorite songs in the world is "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen and he does a version that has become my favorite. It's absolutely breathtaking.
