Birthday Wishes from A Far
We used Skype to call and wish Doug a happy birthday during his big party. The sound was patchy and being 10AM our time, barely had our first cup of tea, it was a bit trippy. It was almost midnight in Juneau and the party was in full swing. When we finally found Jay's phone number and called, he couldn't recognize us. He kept saying "I don't know who this is and we kept hollering "Ryan and Laura!" but then he hung up. So we called back yelled it again, and he said "Ryan and Mara?.... Oh! Ryan and Laura!). The phone got passed around a bit, and Collette gave us an excellent play-by-play of the wedding ceremony and other ongoing debauchery. We were able to get through to Doug and sing him a barely audible Happy Birthday from halfway around the world. Wish we could've been there in person and glad we weren't there in person! ;)
