While I was celebrating my birthday at a bar with a few friends, my wonderful wife was at work meeting one of my boyhood heroes, Ace Frehley from KISS. I can't even count how many times I went as Ace for Halloween, and everyone knows he was the coolest member in the group. This, along with the signed Bret Easton Ellis book she got me (Lunar Park), made this a great way to turn 39.
