Rancho Roundup

Triple J (Jon, Joanna, Jesse) Ranch hosted a well-attended birthday explosion this weekend. It's possible the author of this blog got way too tippled but please don't tell his mother. All told, it was a grande blasto. We stayed up laughing, dancing and playing basketball until almost five and everyone was well-behaved, beautiful and generous.*

True, I passed out in a chair in a small room with three people and two cats, I said uncouth things to my friends and the next day had enough raw hangover pain to fuel the School of the Americas for decades. Nonetheless, it was everything I was looking for in a birthday.

As I said, this is the last photo post before I get back to writing. And responding to your comments! (photo creds to Joanna and Julio)
