This has been a REALLY good start to my birthday, despite the White House's attempt to screw things up (more so).

Val and I had Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast, watched Ellen (and that stupid stupid presidental announcement), went bowling (my birthday wish) and had a little lunch followed by a trip to Starbucks (only because we had a gift card, NOT because we like Starbucks. I do NOT like Starbucks, but I like free!).

The motorcycle is almost ready to be put back together. I need insurance, and helmet, and an oil change, and then I should be ready to go take the test.
