Birthday Sombreros!

Posted November 1, 2009, 7:17 p.m.

Melissa and I both celebrated our birthdays over the last week. Yesterday, we went out with my parents to Chevy’s—a Mexican place we like. Well, we picked right because both of us got these spiffy Birthday Sombreros!

I figure these will be good for the new job, or church, or just driving around the neighborhood. I’m sure some of the MS-13 gang-bangers up in Herndon will get a kick out of it.

Oh, MS-13 is Salvadorian? Hm. Maybe not then.
