I am pretty much awesome. I got my birthday off because I exude awesomeness. So we went skiing. If there is anything more awesome than me, it is my wife. She is awesome. And hot. But mostly awesome. So she took me skiing in the city forest. We only fell down a couple of times. Did I mention it's cross-country skiing? I was disappointed that we didn't see any cross-country snowboarders. That would have been awesome. Also, rad.
So then we had a nice, relaxing day. I got some mail. I opened some awesome presents, including Cinnamon Toast Crunch from Julia (though no one is sure why, it was all her idea), and Shannon made me Monkey Cake, which was a creation from my own brain. Julia has been suggesting that I have a Monkey Cake for months, so it had to be done. And since Shannon is not cake decorator extraordinaire, we had to come up with a back up plan. We made a chocolate cake that included marshmallows, chocolate frosting, and pecans on top, and then sliced a banana for garnish. See, Monkey Cake. I think I need to send it in to a recipe contest. Maybe Sandra Lee can feature it on her show. It's Semi-Homemade!
Cocktail time! Gotta run!

Happy, happy birthday, Clark. Sorry we were such dinks as to not acknowledge it until you were probably fast asleep. That being said, I had been telling Brett for two or three days prior to not forget. Then, we got busy :( However, sounds like you had a wonderful day of skiing and monkey cake. Doesn't get much better than that.
Bear dancing. That's what my birthday was missing.
"I am pretty much awesome." False. You are "pretty much blockburger." Leave the awesomeness to me. Thanks.
