My month has come...

My birth month is here, and already I can tell this time around will be much better than the last, despite my getting older. 

The trip out to New York was a lot more frustrating that I would have liked, but looking back on it I can say I had more fun than I thought I did.  Saturday was the high point of the trip, as it included a delicious sushi dinner and drinking with the fellas.  There's a lot more to going to these big events than the games.  The social aspect is very nice as well, I've met folks from all over the north east, and a few from parts west and south. 
The country side in update New York is very beautiful, but I might grow very bored if I lived out there.  Small town life wasn't cutting it for me before college, and wanting to be around a city was the driving force that brought me to Boston.  Well, that and my friend Clay.  And a car.

I've jumped back on the gym bandwagon after about two weeks off, and plan on religiously keeping to that schedule until at least my birthday. 
I would like to do something birthday related, but finding free time is already wicked difficult.  Fortunately, I have some excellent back up plans: SinOMatic or Ceremony.  And sushi, how could i forget that?  I don't think it will be hard to coax people out to those events.

Having grown up in small-town NY state, I can tell you that I got bored living there. Wanting to be away was my driving force in originally moving to Boston. Well, that and grad school. Boston is what I miss - not so much the countryside of Western NY, its beauty aside.

Unless you are really into the nature side of things (hiking, camping), living out there would be bad. It's a great place for city folk to visit and relax, but after a while...

Being in traveling distance of either extreme works well, I think.

I'm definitely up for Ceremony and/or sushi!

You will certainly know when such things occur!

This is my birthmonth as well, and I raise my glass to you hon. Makes me wish I were in one of the more northern states so that I can see the change of the trees, which makes this one of my most favorite months of the year. For me, October represents a month of change, of preperation, of sluffing off the old to prepare for the new.

I can't think of a nicer time for change and preparation, to sluff off the old and prepare for the new! I was thinking of the fall as a withdrawing time before the chill of winter, but I'm going to go with your definition instead.

Cheers! *clinks glass
