This last week was stressful and busy. Each day was a blur and Kris did an awesome job of capping it off with a surprise party at our favorite pizza place. There were a lot of people there and it was fun to see them all. It's not every day that you turn thirty. As part of the celebration Kris got everyone to write Haiku's about me. I thought it would be fun to share some with you.
In an off hand way
A single speed shiftless set
Rushed off his own face
-Riley
Yes Ben is my boss
When I go on Vacation,
Him I do not see.
-Brad?
Bicycle, Hockey
Finally got a truck
Talk about some luck!
-Donny?
Hand in Ben's office
Muting the speaker to yell
So glad they don't know.
-Alaina?
Family and friends
At the Pizza Pie Cafe
Birthday boy, you rock!
-Andy
A fly tying man
Principal of delinquents
father of two boys.
-Tamara
Always there to help
We talk, we laugh, and we tease
What a great brother.
-Tamara
Biking down my road
Dan falls down multiple times
Ben needs a cold drink.
-Kaye
Food should go in mouths
Not plastered to Kaye's noggin
Ben should watch his back.
-Kaye
Happy Birthday Ben
Next year I will be on time
Sorry Ben, I suck.
-Daniel
He's gone fly fishing
Call on the Ham radio
Always something new.
-Daniel
Another year gone
You are 30 years old now
That's older than me.
-Tamara
Ben is tall and Smart
He likes to fish and ride bikes
My favorite Uncle.
-Mercer
Thanks again to everyone that my my birthday so great. I really enjoyed all of the kind wishes at the party, in cards, in texts, on facebook, and in person. I am glad I have great friends and family who have supported me for 30 years despite my problems. Love you all!

Yeah, somehow I never contributed a Haiku that night, so here you go:
Father of my child,
Husband to my crazy self,
Thirty years young, right?
Love you & Happy Birthday!
Sorry we didn't make it to the party! Glad you had a great birthday. The cake was delicious. :)
Glad you had such a great day!
I just back from a business trip to Florida and realized that I'm a schmuck of a friend for not wishing you a Happy Birthday. Here's my attempt to make up for that, my haiku:
He hangs from a crag,
Look, is that a real owl?
Drink a Mountain Dew.
Happy late birthday man.

I'm sure Jason wrote some strange haikus, didn't he? Glad we could share your day. Love ya.
Haiku's are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
