Happy Birthday Laura

Today is the birthday of my special lady friend, Laura.  She and I have known one another for many, many years now, or as she likes to say; "I knew you when you were straight."  Coincidentally, Laura was in my dream last night.  This happens from time to time and it seems to happen with Laura more than anyone else I know.  However, last night's dream was different.  Where as Laura currently lives in Phoenix, in my dream she was living in Madison and working at the same place she and I worked at in the 90's.  In addition, she had the same (last) boss that we had when I left the place.  This is important since we had a few bosses during our time there and the last boss was part of the reason I left the agency.  Anyway, I was living in Germany in my dream and had gone back to Madison to live and work for two months as my student loan company was harassing me for money and I didn't know where else to go for work.  So, Laura and I worked together again as we had done before.  

By the way, this picture is from October 2007 when Carsten and I went there for my birthday.  This picture is taken on one of the rides at the State Fair and Laura was kind enough to pose as if she was scared silly.  Oh, and as for my hair, that heat flattens out my curls like it is nobody's business.
