At one point there at Cedar's Restaurant I was looking around at everybody seated around our round table and I realized that everybody had showed up for my birthday. It was a good feeling, I felt blessed with friendship and good cheer.

I didn't even miss not getting snockered off cheap well drinks.

We're now the proud owners of a rusty 1966 Ford Mustang. Actually, its Lankakitten's. She fell in love with it last week so it's an anniversary present to her.
