January birthdays

On Monday evening, the extended Thorpe Family celebrated January birthdays.  On my birthday.  

Here are the photos of the fun little dinner we had with the family (taken with the new lens Gail gave me for my birthday):

Largely as a result of Facebook, I had more birthday greetings than ever before this year.  It was remarkable.  So many people sent email greetings I almost got tired of it.

Sugar Bowl Report

Gail and I returned yesterday from New Orleans, where we attended the Sugar Bowl.  Utah beat Alabama 31 - 17 in what has been described as the biggest game Utah ever played.

Gail and I genuinely enjoyed the opportunity to be there for this historic occasion.  Personally, I had feared that we would get blown out.  When the first quarter ended 21-0 I was not shocked that the score was lopsided, but I was surprised by the team that was on top!

While we were there, we toured New Orleans, the French Quarter, the 9th Ward where Katrina had its worst impact, and a nearby swamp.  Much fun.

You can see some photos, of course, below:
