Okay you have never received any gift quite like this. Some people can tell you what they got for their birthday, how elegant, how charming, how perfect. I can comment how so much like a goat a goat truly is. No a goat did not arrive to my home, in fact it is at the home of a family in Africa. Yes my goat is in Africa!

For my birthday my mother appears to have bought me a lifetime gift for gorta. The card got reads “Your gift of a goat will provide a source of nutrition in the form of milk, cheese and meat for amy hungry families, enabling them to live a healthy life.“

With all of that in mind exactly how big is the goat?If it can feed families, then it must be a big goat! So where do we go from now. I am thinking how cool this is. What a nice gesture, someone did something excellent and good for me. They got me a goat for someone else to eat! lol I am honesty quite touched. Thank you mother. I love it!

So I am the birthday boy! How old am I? I am a year older than I was last year.

I got a great other gift from my mom by the way, she got me a master battle set from Heroscape. What a cool cool gift folks. okay am going to go to bed!

Okay I got the call from my mother to let me know she has arrived home safely. I believe the call came in at 3:30 AM MST. Was lovely to hear her voice. Miss them udles right now and hope they are good!

I dropped my mother and sister off at the airport this morning so they could return to Ireland. They have been here 2 weeks and it has been wonderful to have them here. That means I have had 3 weeks with them between 2007 / 2008. It has consistently amazed me how there is never enough time, yet we waste it all, I think Death said this. He also commented that is he is always amazed by the universe and that the human race managed to invent boredom in such an amazing place.So we listened to Dylan Moran on the way to the airport, and it was fun. The road conditions were lousy. I stayed with them until the security gates and then watched them through the glass until they left. Leaves me feeling melancholy to say the least. Came home had some food and slept for a bit. Now I am watching more Dylan Moran in the hope of finding a little more of them near.

Love you guys, thanks for being here! Miss you terribly!
