My birthday felt that it had come and gone but there were still a group who showed up to watch Benjamin try and gather the last few things off the floor as Suzanne and Jim and Judy competed for bad camera poses.

Once we got to the restaurant, Perry and Liz who had already started their martinis were feeling not pain at the view down and across the table of good friends from the work place. The menu and my frog and peach plate didn't do well in the low light conditions. There was a toast and so I lifted my glass and sword to join in as my herb crepes arrived along with the other first courses but this was only topped by the main courses

which were followed by dessert and coffees of various flavors.
