Highlights of the birthday

• My co-workers took me out to Ted's Montana Grill for lunch. Bison pot roast and sarsparilla soda. Mmmm. They also gave me a $50 Target gift card.
• Prime and EJ took me out to Fratelli's for dinner. Is it possible to get the 'itis while eating?

Not-so-highlights of the birthday

• No Opportunity…*sigh*
• Death-Phoenix called and left a message wanting to know why I had not called her to tell her it was my birthday. Ugh.
• Ma'dea called to make sure I wasn't dead. She heard about the Brian Nichols murder spree and assumed I was in the thick of it. Of course, she manages to throw in how I'm living another year of sin and going to Hell and blah blah blah.

Aaaaaand…that's about it. The birthday week is still going strong until Sunday. Sorry, but "Happy Birthday" a week or more afterwards just ain't gonna cut it.
