I hope this doesn't set a precedent for doing this on everybody's 30th birthday, or I'm going to be busy writing these for the next few years...
Top Ten Reasons Denise Sawicki is Awesome
10) She wore red on her wedding day, and she looked good.
9) She doesn't just send the DVD as a surprise birthday gift. She sends the book they based the movie on.
8) She dressed as a lumberjack last Halloween, beard and all. (link)
7) False modesty? Not a problem.
6) She did volunteer work at a suicide prevention hotline. Some people might be alive today because of her.
5) Time and again, she has proven trustworthy for her wisdom and discretion when sought for confidential advice. (I do not mean how to get my Sims to stop peeing themselves.)
4) She discovered a new atomic particle. ...Well, almost.
3) Some people are content just to make a fan page for their favorite musician. She married him.
2) Four words: Lazy line painter Jane.
1) She has more friends who love her than she knows.

My latest pastime has been seeing if I can rig a video game of Monopoly to give me infinite money. It turns out that I can, but it's incredibly tedious, far more so than I thought. I like to play with the NES version, because it's just colorful and fun enough without being too sophisticated in its AI. Go »Things You Realize at the Top of a 40-Story Ferris Wheel
Kelly and I just got back from a two-day getaway to Orlando to celebrate our anniversary. No theme parks; we've been to them many times and they're jammed with people right now anyway. We tried small local attractions instead. Go »The Tiger
This is the second of four weekly blog posts about diagnoses that have completely changed my life since the pandemic started, after The Dragon. Last week, I wrote about my liver disease, which doesn't have any direct, detectable signs.
