Friday, the birthday week that was.

At first I thought my official birthday party would turn out to be a small intimate dinner, with maybe 6 people. It ended up as a fun dinner with 14 people, at Tsunami, the restaurant that has the tasty food and slow service. I actually didn't mind the slowness, because it gave me some extra time with my friends in a big noisy group. I had sushi and tonkatsu for the first time in ages, and was given a beautiful pair of tea cups with integral tea filters, along with mint tea. But the best gift of all was being with my friends- I am very thankful I now live up here and have gotten to know so many wonderful people. It's a constant gift, and one a birthday is the perfect time to remember.

So thank you all, my birthday week was terrific!
