 Thanks y'all!  
 I had a pretty good day on Sunday.  It was surprisingly low-ke except for a great story I have to tell.  Very good laugh.
 
 I am in Iowa and the first thing my friends who I was staying with on this particular day handed me a box. It was full of Dutch letter pastries from a bakery in Pella (a Dutch town)/  Dutch letters are a traditional pastry baked around Saint Nicholas Day but sold yea-round in  this town.  So I had a few with my coffee.
 
 Let's skip ahead to after dinner and introducing my friends to my new favorite sitcom, Howe I Met Your Mother the lights go out.  There was no party or cake this year (or at least not yet...suspicion runs afoot).  Here comes something with a candle in it. As it comes closer I notice it is a Dutch Letter.  Probably not the best thing to stick a candle in because Dutch Leters are very fragile. Not to mention there was no plate under it.  Big mistake.
 
 As soon as I grabbed it and leaned over to make a wish the Dutch letter (candle and all) fell out of my hands. I knew exactly what to wish for instantly.  Fortunately my wish came true because the candle went out before it could do any damage.  My friend's two dogs then enjoyed a treat on the floor while we all had a good laugh.
 
 So my Birthday went from Ordinary to LEGEN...wait for it....wait for it....DARY!!!
