Last night I was the first to arrive at the restaurant. The birthday boy (J) retrieved the little man from pre-school for me, so that I could work late. Again. Woo-hoo! Naturally I was excited to see both my boys, birthday amd otherwise, so I made sure to be punctual. Forgetting that J’s family is generally not. So I stood out on the sidewalk, getting a bit antsy. And hungry. Passed the time taking a few photos. It was unusually mild, and the sky was lovely. And folks showed up before too long. So we had ourselves a fine, leisurely meal. Followed by yummy cake (made by J’s mom, with his recipe - that I need to post one of these days) and presents. The little man was up way past his bedtime, and the sugar high kept him going even longer than I’d expected. All in all, a fine evening. And a good birthday for J, I believe. But we’re not done with the birthdays just yet. Today is Monica’s (Happy Birthday!) and tomorrow the little man’s Dad’s. So more dining out, and more cake. The weekend will be too jam-packed to see any movies…but there are a couple out that I’d like to see, and so many more being released soon. As well as an Akira Kurosawa retrospective starting in town today. So many movies, so little time. That’s what Netflix is for, I guess.
