August, 2006  When we're young, we celebrate milestone Birthdays like 16 (driver's license!), 18 (adult!) and 21 (woo hoo! now I'm a real adult with bills!).  Then there's a 19 year wait until we finally make it to that big fortieth birthday!  Of course the person turning 40 never gets too excited ... but everyone else thinks it a great excuse to party and celebrate. My beautiful wife hit this milestone birthday in August. And while I'm sure she wasn't too thrilled about celebrating 40, I took the opportunity to contact some of her close friends and put together a surprise gathering at Buffalo Wild Wings (BW3's).:
