First of all GOOD VIBES TO YOUNG GABE! And to the rest of the family.
There's no pain like feeling your child's pain. May Gabe heal quickly and well.
And now a HUGE thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes - even one in Hungarian from Jose, accents and all. What a terrific bunch of people you all are! It's a great blessing to be part of the HHW family.
I had a fabulous birthday. Got my writing done, had many cards, e-mails and phone calls - even one from my best childhood friend in Toronto, whom I've known since 6th grade.
The evening was just wonderful. Dear bk took me out for a scrumptious dinner. I had grilled salmon with dill mashed potatoes. Yummy. He had some kind of creamy chicken pasta without the pasta -- reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES, except the waiter did not need to be told to put the pasta between his knees.
After dinner we went back to chez Kimmel where I enjoyed delicious flourless chocolate cake - there was also a Snow White cupcake, which I'm saving for tomorrow - while watching SCHOOL OF ROCK,which was excellent. (bk, of course, had no cake.)
After I arrived home, I discovered that I had left my reading glasses and my gentlemanly host drove them over to my place. The last of the knights in shining armor is our bk.
In short, DRs, I had the BEST birthday ever.
