Thirty
- On Friday, I had breakfast for lunch.
- I have to believe IHOP is one of the greatest restaurants on the planet.
- I had dinner at Amici's in Mountain View.
- And ordered a pizza called the Greek Isle (feta, mozzarella, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes).
- Partly because it sounded tasty. Partly as a feeble tribute to the Olympics.
- Vanderlei De Lima, the Brazilian runner who was leading the marathon until he was attacked three miles from the finish line, is my hero. He won the bronze medal.
- This is supposed to be a list of thirty things about me.
- I apparently have a short attention span.
- And can be easily sidetracked by the simplest...
- I'm wearing a shirt and tie today at work.
- I'm not "surrendering to the system", just pretending to act my age.
- This is my first day as a thirtysomething.
- I never saw the television show. Maybe it could give me pointers how to act my age.
- To honor me a day early, Athens blew out a giant candle.
- Technically, they "extinguished the Olympic torch", but let's not quibble over semantics.
- To help me celebrate, the GOP is throwing a four-day long party in New York City.
- The Dems jumped the gun and partied a month ago in Boston.
- Items 14-17 display a shamefully egocentric view of world events.
- Now I feel guilty and bad for writing them.
- Yet not remorseful (or creative) enough to delete them and come up with something more modest.
- On Saturday, I attended a wedding in Portola Valley.
- One wall of the church was all glass and looked out upon a beautiful green forest.
- I was the only guy in attendance wearing brown boots.
- If I said I didn't imagine how I would like my own wedding to be one day, I'd be lying.
- If I were ever to be married, I wonder how much say I would have in the whole process.
- Besides the qualities listed in Item 8 and 9, I have a tendency of getting ahead of myself.
- On Sunday, I was lucky enough to see Movin' Out in San Francisco.
- It was an amazing show that reminded me why I love Billy Joel's music.
- I wanted to say something incredibly cheesy here, but that's just not me.
- Okay, who am I kidding? I'm extremely cheesy, but thankfully, this list only goes up to thirty.

"You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."
~~happy birthday~~
happy birthday david!
(and welcome to the club, haha.)
Your list is pretty funny. I'm glad that you had a chance to go see Movin' Out and enjoyed it. I like musicals.
It's said much later than it should have been, but I mean it all the same. Thank you for the birthday wishes. :)
