Years go By

... and this past Saturday marked the 30th one since yours truly came out into the world to get his first of many whacks. The Lovely Wife(tm), naturally, would not allow such a momentous occasion go without a surprise party, blizzard or no, so it was a triple-header weekend for us. Lunch with the family at chez Efrex, and Motzei Shabbat dinner with 20 fellow foolhardy well-wishers at an Upper West Side restaurant (all Manhattan people, natch; the out-of-towners were snowed in, and I would've bopped anyone who drove in over the head).

Sunday was time for the annual birthday show (Wonderful Town, with a weak book but a great orchestra and a surprisingly well-cast Brooke Shields), followed by far too many hours at Marie's and the Duplex. Oy... at my advanced age, I can't exactly handle these late nights like this anymore...
