Happy Birthday Topher!

He's finally made it folks. Our friend Topher, think Mac9982, reaches his 26th birthday today, and he's done it without serious ailment or loss of limbs. While the past year has seen him move to from the ballpark to the Marina, that has only made his weekly forays into City Tavern more easily accessible. Since I've known him, the MAC has been a mack, and he's the only person I know who can drink an entire glass of vodka straight. Sure, he might not remember talking to you afterwards, but he'll keep it down God damnit! Wii Bowling, Giants games, Liar's Dice, Beirut, Garden of Eden and Snowball parties, coaching soccer, listening to Big Pun on Lake Tahoe trips and fighting over stupid shit related to our exes are all activities we've enjoyed together, and as he embarks on the strange and wondrous journey that is post-25, I have no doubt that there's more to come. So raise your glasses people to the guy we affectionately call Topher...he's earned it! Here he is in one of his days as a 25 year old, a day when he almost ended his own life by riding a rickety chair down a hill. The chair didn't survive, but thankfully he did.
