Officially Older

I am now officially 26. One of the first questions I was asked is if I am going to have kids now. Apparently 26 is the magic age for children. For now, I say no to such a question. Sorry, to dissapoint if anyone was thinking the answer would be yes.

But the reason I am choosing to write about this event again, is simply because it was a great birthday.  I went rock climbing, which I really enjoy, had a great steak, and enjoyed being with my wife all day.  She was incredible.  She also gave me some gifts on top of all of the other stuff I got to do.  I got the HBO series called THE BAND OF BROTHERS.  If you have not seen it, it is well worth the watch.  Amazing true stories of  World War II.  It follows a group of paratroopers who volunteered to fight.  Some of what they went through absolutely amzes me, and I am not ashamed to say, has brought tears to my eyes on occasion while watching an episode.  This series is probably not for all audiences though as it is pretty graphic.

So, as I have previously written, I am now allowed to give advice as a 26 year old.  Here is the advice for today.  Go rent THE BAND OF BROTHERS, and if you can’t do that then go read a book.  I recommend The Hobbit.
