Lori's five-floor pagoda of birthday fun

Oh yeah, she got the VIP treatment this year. Our June two zero included three out of the following five amazing activities:

1. All-night dancing, and Patron/Henny shots at Skybar (are those still the high-end liquors of choice? Probably not if a white guy from Utah knows about them).

2. Fondue adventure at the Melting Pot in SLC. No burns, spills, or bum attacks at the ATM!

3. No kids for 24 hours (thanks Grandma 'Retta! We owe you a night on the town a la #1 above)

4. Full Mexican dinner immediately followed by a romantic off-road jeep excursion at the Saaaand Dunes.

5. Lori's maiden mountain bike voyage: 1,000 vertical-foot climb in 1.5 miles. She conquered the 3-mile loop like a champ, with minimal whining about the heat, caterpillar attacks, my map-reading skills, and two flat tires.

OK, so I had fun on her birthday. . .I've yet to get much feedback from Lori -- she's still a bit groggy from the Henny -- but at the barely-legal age of 34, she'll bounce back.

Tight. I'm no alky guru, but I do know grey goose is supposed to be tops. After witnessing many drunken middle aged white people at former work functions, I know it gets you pretty loose.
Yeah for Lori conquering mountain biking! I'm impressed. I wish it was cool enough here to do something other than avoid getting third degree burns from the seatbealts!

Happy Birthday Lori!

Of course, my idea of fun on my birthday does not entail mountain biking.....good for you. Mark is impressed!

You will have to bring the bikes to
Idaho and we can conquer some trails.

I've been hoping you would do a blog. It will be as good as my letters from Hemmy.
