to me (and Laura).
I thought I'd share my funny birthday story. Today I had to go to the Navy Federal here on base to get Traveler's Checks that I took out to the Bank of Yokohama to convert to Yen. So the teller at Navy Federal hands over the checks for me to sign and date. I signed my name and dated them. When she looked at them she got this screwy look on her face and said...."you dated them December 4, 1967" When I started laughing she continued to look at me screwy thinking I'd totally lost my mind. When I explained that it was my birthday and 1967 just naturally follows 12/4 she finally got it. I'm just glad she caught it before I headed to the Japanese bank. I'm afraid they wouldn't have found it funny at all.
Tonight I had a "birthday party" at the bowling alley with Andrew, my friend Jackie and her 3 kids. The kids had a ball which made my day happy. Tomorrow I'll pack for my trip to get Ethan on Wednesday.
