Birthdays

#

The wife had her birthday on Sunday. We went out with a cousin to San Francisco on Saturday night. It was a very good evening. Saturday started with King Kong in the afternoon. It was quite a long movie (3hr+) so by the time we got out, we did not have much to relax before heading out to San Francisco for the evening.

First, we popped a Korbel champagne bottle at home, and then went to get pizza at Pizza Orgasmica. We got nice seats, to sit on the floor and no one else around us. So we decided to just hang out at the pizza place. They had a full bar of course.

My cousin and I had a few round of drinks and of course we had a traditional round of shots for the table. I was surprised how easily I was able to handle the drinks given that I have not been drinking much of late. Not only was it enjoyable in the night, but the next morning also ended up being normal.

After ringing in her birthday and much later after that, we decided to head home. By the time we slept it was about 3 in the morning.

My non-material gift to the wife was a day of going shopping with her. No complaints, no whining, no pressure to get out of the stores. No cribbing at all. And it was quite sad that she was not able to find ANY of the things she was looking for. I ended up buying some of the things on my list!! Quite ironic.

But hey, the point was not who buys what, the point was spending quality time together and that is what we did.

Good weekend after all!
