Old(er)

On the morning of my most recent birth day, I awoke to a cupcake buffet, attended by a multitude of miniature monkeys, turtles, toads and rats.

Together, my new menagerie and I wasted half the day away watching season 2 of The Office. To celebrate another year on Earth, Stinky Town once again hosted a green parade in my honor. (For all its faults, this place really knows how to take care of its disgruntled citizens!)

By evening, while the drunken hoards were piling into any bar that posted a shamrock above its door, ODA took me out and toasted my Franco roots, treating me to a heavenly six-course tasting menu with wine at Fleur de Sel. Tucked away in the prime corner table, we spent nearly three hours sampling the chef's surprise vegetarian creations. Then, old(er) age set in and I pulled my shoulder muscle somewhere along the way home. Nonetheless, if the restaurant's ravioli are any indication, I think this is going to be a good year.

Happy Birthday!
The food in that last photo looks incredible.

How'd you manage to pull your shoulder muscle? Hopefully by carrying that pot of gold you old leprechaun.
