Happy Birthday Bobby!

Bob's birthday was yesterday. I can't believe my littlest brother is 19. That makes me old.

Yesterday, I had my first visit to the Brookfield Zoo. I went with Brette, and old freind from the Smart. It was great to see her and catch up on her life and to she where she worked last summer (with the cute baby goats).

Last night, I finally got to see V for Vendetta. I think it was very well done, and I was surprised at how littleviolence there really was compared to the previews. My favorite part is V's introduction of himself:
"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V"
