This past Saturday was my birthday – and it was the day of the KSU-KU Sunflower Showdown in Lawrence.  I wrote about the results of the game a few days ago and mentioned that we watched the game with friends on the DVR.  I noted that we had wonderful chinese takeout, but I didn’t mention that we also had Butterfinger Ice Cream Cake. Additionally, we toasted with some birthday cake-flavored vodka – which was quite delicious and potentially dangerous.

The game was absolutely fun to watch, especially since we knew the outcome before sitting down in front of the TV.  However, I think the best part of the evening was just hanging out with some very good friends.  Linda and I are very lucky to have them.
