Birthday Traditions

Last night Bismo and CapnHo took me out for my Birthday. We went to dinner at Carrabbas and went to see Serenity(It was Ho's first viewing, Bismo's 3rd.....my 6th - hopeless, ain't I?). The 4 of us (Including Brewser BB who was away this weekend) do not usually make a big deal about each others birthdays otherwise and our schedules do not let us get together as much as we all like, but we always make it a point to take each other out to dinner and some form of entertainment when out date of birth comes up.

The best time has to be when I was taken out 2 years ago to Chan's for Chinese Food and to see Roomful of Blues. Not only was the food excellent, the band swinging and I got totally plastered, it was the night that the Red Sox came back from the brink of elimination in the ALDS against the A's and was the beginning of a complete comeback to move onto the ALCS against the Yankees. Although this is no where as big a comeback as the next year where THEY WON THE WORLD SERIES, at the time it was such a great topper to a wonderful evening.

Last night, although it was not quite as exciting, was a still a great time. And this is a tradition that I hope will live on while we are all upright.
