Happy 30th Birthday Josh!

Josh-
Man among men.
Wise beyond his years.
A Leader.
Loved.
Feared.
Hanging from what we were hoping was a load bearing beam in his new birthday climbing shoes.
The severity of the overhang, the stylish crossover heelhook, combined with the uncertainty in regards to structural soundness make this a move worthy of an 11b gear leader.
Though today, Josh finally, mercifully turns thirty, we preemptively celebrated on Thursay evening.
Me, Sue, Joan, Steve, Kumi, Sheila, and Annie SURPRISED (sort of) Josh as he was brought over to Sue's on the pretense of Craig's List stuff on the way to Pho.
We did not have Pho. I somehow accidentally tricked Sue's next door neighbor Jeff into cooking the chops while I drank champagne. Sweet. Had to trade him some garlic mashers, though. Small price.
Then we had CAKE- the best part of any birthday. Joan made it, of course. Chocolate, chocolate, with a raspberry middle. I was in physical pain I was so stuffed.
School night so everyone left by 9:30. We're all old folk now, after all.
