Gorgeous weekend here in southwest Michigan. Fifties and sunny, and we celebrated my birthday. I declared yesterday "The Day of Eric" and sat outside and read most of the day, taking time out to play a little football and baseball with the kids and to sleep. We held my birthday dinner last night. I received an assortment of iTunes paraphernalia, cash, candy, a funny t-shirt, and other items. One of the most pleasant weekends in recent memory.

> A Wisconsin man ended up in hospital with burnt genitals after an attempt to duplicate a stunt from Jackass.

> A second man was left facing criminal charges following the incident in Eau Claire, reports the Leader-Telegram.

> The pair were trying to do a stunt from the Jackass movie, in which a character sets his genitals on fire with lighter fuel.
