Hello, for my birthday this year I was wondering if you could write back something short with one of the following:
a way in which I might have blessed or served you, a way you have seem me grow or helped you to grow, and/or a time that was meaningful for our friendship or working together.
BONUS: you can remind me of a funny story about me or something we've done together!

Thanks. As part of turning 30 I want to make sure to reflect on my life.

I'll write more Saturday (the 'big' day), but to drop a note I have to say I feel like I'm 20. I don't feel like a great deal of time has passed since high school and college even though I know it has. This fact bewilders me, but it is true. Much love to you all

and if the U.S. gets jobbed again by a curious referee (see: phantom 'penalty' giving Ghana a 2-1 going into halftime) and they lose, they go home.  And Ghana has the privilege of attempting to beat Brazil.  Which, honestly, I thought could've happened until they tore Japan apart last night.  Finally.
