I had a great 40th birthday yesterday. I wanted to return to the decade of my youth, so we had an 1980s-themed party. Deb let her creative juices flow, and made a Pac-Man cake with a game board that used cupcakes for dots. Many friends stopped by to wish me well, and I appreciate every one of them.
My letter jacket--for the sake of all involved, I didn't try it on.
This was the Pac-Man board that Deb created.
If it wasn't for Atari, I wouldn't have a job today.
I had completely forgotten about the preppie fad. Thanks, Eric!
Before the iPod, there was the Walkman. And in that Walkman, there was Night Ranger.
One highlight was a game of 80's trivia.
If Eric went preppie, then Joe went the other direction: mullet, muscle shirt and Zubaz.
Deb & Me
Thank you to everyone who helped make this birthday memorable (and fun).

Happy Birthday! I wish I could’ve been there for the 80′s party–I would’ve brought all of my remix compilations. Yes, they were on records then.
Thanks for hosting us a few weekends ago. We really appreciated the time to relax and visit with both of you. Turning 40 isn’t so bad when you have a close friend who also endures it with you.
Here’s to many more get-togethers before we turn–ugh–50!
