Too literal?
Over the course of the week, Dave and I take turns working on the Sunday newspaper's crossword puzzle whenever we have a spare moment. For me, that's usually when I've turned in for the night and for Dave, it's also usually when he turns in for the night, many, many hours after I have. This morning I decided to take a quick break between baking Dave's birthday cake (Happy Birthday, Dave!) and cleaning the bathroom before my parents get here. As I was perusing the crossword clues, I came across "Sci-Fi craft" and the first thought that crossed my mind was "What? Like aliens made out of popsicle sticks?" Then I noticed Dave had already filled that one in and of course the answer was "UFO". That makes far more sense. What is wrong with me?
Meanwhile, while I was writing this post, my mom called and said they had just crossed over into Pennsylvania. Break's over.

I was right there with you Jenn. I had to read your post twice in order to understand the answer.
Happy Birthday Dave!

Thanks Megan! As always, I'm your one-stop source for all (ok some) sci fi trivia!

We hope your special day is being fabulous, David, and that the whole year of being 39, will stay with you for a very long while, or it will prepare you for turning, 40!!
Love and hugs,
Aunt JA and Uncle Rich xoxo
