August 29 2006 Jenny's 29th Golden Birthday
It was Jenny's Golden Birthday today. For those not familiar with the term, the Golden Birthday is, according to Wikipedia: "One's golden birthday, also called a champagne birthday, is the day when the age one turns and the date of birth coincide (e.g. someone turning 20 on September 20th celebrates his golden birthday)."

As you can see, Jenny looked as beautiful as ever. I fall in love again and again with her smile. I like this picture.
What better way to celebrate a birthday than good food and a game. We had steak for dinner, and a blooming onion. We stopped at Sonic on the way home for ice cream, and cruised on home from there.
Jenny got some nice gifts. Some clothes, a massage, a watch, and a Sirius radio for the van. Not bad all the way around.
With dinner done, the boys baths completed, and Abraham in bed, we sat down for a b-day game of Carcassonne.
Jenny was leading the series at 6 games to 2 so far, and I haven't won in a while. While it may have been a golden birthday, it was nothing but fools gold for Jenny tonight. The towers came out on a near 60 point city, and some clever maneuvering gave me a 20+ road. All in all, she played well, but luck was not on her side, and I won 324 to 215. To add insult to injury, a skunk.
Despite the set back Jenny still leads the series at 6 games to 3, and I'm sure she will go on to beat me several times before I have another win. Despite any reassurance, Jenny felt she needed to hide her shame.
I'm just happy she didn't demand a Boggle or Scramble, because this would have been a very different post. Maybe next time.
