Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to me!

This week, I had one more day of remembering I was born. It was a pleasant day. I’m on the advisory board for a great company by the name of Wendia North America. I spent the morning working with them. Their CEO, Hal Tueller, took me to lunch at Bajio. I had great food and no one sang to me which was a bonus.

After lunch I loaded up the birds and went out to Cedar Valley where I flew all three of them: two prairie falcons and my aplomado. The prairies are being trained to fly to the balloon which keeps them in shape and trains them to stick around me. I’m flying the alpomado to the balloon to get him back in shape.

I hope to be hunting with them very soon. I was out there for about three hours. I have a trailer for the giant balloon and the trailer is carpeted and has a nice soft chair I paid $5 for. It was just nice to take my time and relax with the birds. When they were all flown and put away I looked to the east and the sun had splashed rosy pink on the tops of the mountains surrounding Alpine. It was beautiful and then I looked back to the west and the sky had the same hue brushed easily against the clouds. It was though color had been flung against the canvas and the clouds were the only thing the color stuck to.

I wrapped up my day with dinner at La Dolce Vita our favorite restaurant with good friends. It was just relaxing and energizing enough to be complete. I also had nice phone calls, voice messages and Facebook birthday wishes. Nice people around me.

Since it went so well, I think I will do it again next year about this same time.
