I recently had a fabulous birthday party. As I have just turned twenty, I had some loved ones over to my home to celebrate. I really enjoyed being with them, and I must say that this was the best birthday party I have ever had. My wife made a white cake in the shape of a "20", I publicly opened some presents, and I enjoyed a rather grand old time.

I have also finished reading The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells and Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. I thoroughly enjoyed them both. I suppose I should now try to finish some books I am still half-reading: Ivanhoe and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I'll keep you posted.

Having been in such a delightful mood, and coming to really appreciate this vernal time in my life, I have written a poem. A brand new one, just today. You can read it in the poetry section of my website. It is entitled Springtime.
