Happy birthday to me

Gone are the days of...

Getting all hot and sweaty over entering a biathlon in Bryce Canyon on a whim.


Dining with rat poop in Sun Valley's backcountry yurts.


Scaling Half Dome's beast in Yosemite (click to enlarge for full effect).


Taking self-portraits with ugly sunglasses after bagging two 14,000-foot peaks by myself in Colorado.


Instead, thanks to a charitable donation (a.k.a. generous birthday present) from my parents, Jamie and I will be doing this.


It's good to be old.

Oh, to be young enough to still have birthdays. You're not old! Why you’re a spring chicken! Actually, come to think of it, in your case, you may be closer to a sprung chicken!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday! I hoe you spend it relaxed and happy!

Happy Birthday! :)

Hope you have a great time and you know, we Canadians don't age. It's something to do with the cold winters when we were young that just locks the youthfulness in there.

At least, that's what I'm hoping for. (lolol!)
