Dot's Birthday

May 7 was Dot's birthday. Being that this was Sunday, the day actually started in Terre Haute with Adam and Robin as we were singing karaoke at Imperial. When the chance came after midnight, we each (Robin, Adam and I) took a microphone and sang Happy Birthday to Dot. We had a cake there for her and gave her her birthday present.

During the day on Sunday, we spent part of our day with the Malaysian Student Association at their picnic. Dot earned a certificate for being the group's web master or, as she calls it, web mistress. When we left, we brought another family back to our apartment building as well. Shortly afterward, Dot and I took off again.

I took Dot up to Indianapolis to the Hard Rock Cafe for her birthday dinner. I'd never been there before and I was looking at my idols. Jimmy Page's guitar was just feet from me. God, did I ever want to just pick the thing up and launch into the lead solo from "Stairway To Heaven"!! I fought the urge so we wouldn't get thrown out. Dot was nice enough to take my picture with the guitar.

I love you, Dot!! I hope your birthday lived up to everything that you could have hoped or wanted.
