Saturday night, Sigma Nu had a celebration in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the founding of our chapter at the University of Houston.  I enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with people that I hadn't seen in a decade or so.  I did find it it challenging, however, to to summarize the last ten years of my life, the last several of which have been eventful to say the least. Of course, a large part of the evening was devoted to reminding each other of embarrasing stories (and nicknames) that we had managed to forget.

Special thanks to all those who came out to help me celebrate my 37th birthday on Saturday. It had been far too long since I had hosted a large gathering of any kind - I hadn’t realized how much I had been missing it. The homemade-by-Brian portion of the menu included smoked brisket and sausage, fresh bread, and a new ice-cream creation: espresso cinnamon sweet cream. (Brian Webb also contributed some homemade cookies-and-cream ice cream, so we were well supplied on the ice cream front!)
