Yesterday was a fun day. Nothing special happened, but I guess I was just glad that my little ailment wasn't serious. I don't get sick very often, and if it happens, it mainly occurs early in the year, so I guess we got that all taken care of for 2010.

To lighten up the mood a bit, we also watched the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour, and while it didn't bring us to tears, it was quite funny.

Oh yeah, and this weekend, we'll be rocking out at the Anvil concert. \m/
