It was Saturday night March 5 and Suzanne
Ben (incognito)
and I
(better self portrait)
got our programs
and waited
until Around 8

A few days later, we celebrated Jane's birthday as we'd done for the previous 5 years:
2004
2003
2002
2001
2000
though she does seem to get older each year. Jane put on her gift sweatshirt
and we surveyed the decorations
including those that need to last until April 17 and took the birthday picture
before admiring the cheeses from Dean and DeLuca
and making sure the table was set
and that Jane had her magic wand
Ben had his food
and Suzanne
had her wine
while the vegetables
made my plate
feel like it wanted to be full
as I started to eat
and then recorded the event
as the cake appeared
and after the candles were blown out we could take cake pictures
while Jane was excited
as Sarah
and Ed
watched and Jane
cut some cake
for me to eat
which inspired a group of very bad self portraits

he painted for my office
