Happy Birthday to Z!

"Happy Birthday, Zachary!  How does it feel to be eight ?"

"It feels great!  I love being eight, and it means I'm one year closer to being seventeen so I can play Halo!"

I thought Z was playing Halo when he was here in Fort Worth? OOOPPPs was margaret supposed to know that.... my mistake.... thats right, Z was reading novels the whole time he was here in Fort Worth... what a studius boy.

1-Halo is rated M for Mature. How would Z know anything about such a game?

2-There is a photo of this mystery woman with Z on her lap and I thought I saw a striking resembelence in one of the blond little girls. Is this my friend of a past life (um, about 20 years ago), J.B.? I can't believe I haven't seen her in this long! I MUST make a point to visit next time she is here.

1- Halo IS rated M for Mature, but it's more of a T game.. strictly PG-13 stuff. I can't figure why it's rated Mature.. you're blasting aliens after all, and the blood is yellow! I actually bought the xbox just so Z and I could play Halo. The two of us would team up and go through the single player levels together, just Z and I against the whole alien planet. Great father/son bonding experience. Yes, they say "hell" or "damn" every once and a while in the game.. but that's really it. Not deserving of a M rating in my opinion.

2- yes, that photo is J.B. They are happily living in El Paso, Texas now! We plan to spend the month of January at their house soaking up the sun. She'll be back up north next summer.
