The Big 3-0

I just celebrated my 30th birthday. It wasn't much of a celebration though, I was at a photojournalism workshop where I help out every year building the website. The Mountain Workshops put on by Western Kentucky University, my alma mater, is held in a different location around Kentucky focusing on stories from a particular town and county. It is usually held in the middle of October but this year they started about two weeks earlier and it so happened that my birthday fell right in the same week.

My original plan was to ditch on that day so I could spend it with my wife in Nashville about 2 1/2 hours away from the workshop site of Mayfield, Kentucky. I didn't think that I would be so wrapped up in the work this year, but I had a much larger role than I have had in previous years. So as the day grew nearer I decided that we could celebrate my birthday when I got back to Nashville a few days later. So instead of spending the day with my wife I opted to stare at Actionscript 3 and Flex MXML code all day. I feel liek what we accomplished will help us out in workshops to come and make things a lot easier for us.

I still haven't had my birthday dinner but I think with all of the fast food I've had and the mountains of bar-b-cue at the workshops I'm not really in the mood to eat. Don't get me wrong, I still eat and probably more often that I should but I can't decide ahead of time what it is I want to eat. I think I've finally decided that I want to go to Logan's Steakhouse not too far from my wife's parent's home in Nashville and get me a nice steak or maybe ribs... oh I don't know.

Either way I'm still 30 and I'm still not sure what that means for me in this next year.
