t-0 (-7): it's someone's birthday


Mine. It's my birthday. I hadn't wanted to share. But at this point, I'd have been just as happy to evict the little blighter. After all, I already share the day with Hubert Humphrey, Henry Kissinger and Siouxsie Sioux*.

We had a pretty quiet day. Despite gray skies and constant drizzle, we went for a long walk - almost two hours and then out to dinner at an "American" chain restaurant. It's hard to make big plans when you're over a week overdue.

* Which just goes to show that there really is something in the whole horoscope thing. I feel my personality is really something eclectically between Henry Kissinger and Siouxsie. That is - given free rein - I'd probably orchestrate a secret war while wearing wild costumes, wild hair and a lot of eye make-up.

It was already kind of late over there when I last checked in today. I was just certain that Cletus had decided to defy you and come today.

Oh, well. Happy birthday.

It was a place called Frankie and Benny's - a "New York, Italian American" place it was kinda fun - loads of kids in there - but I would definitely go to Sette Bello as suggested by Jen for Italian.
