A Herby Weekend
Ze weekend focused around Herb. On Friday night I made a trip to the record store and bought him stuff from a list he’d given me (all Red Hot Chili Peppers - he ended up getting four albums he didn’t have (for some very obscure reason)), and then our best friend came over for the night. On Saturday, we had barbecued steak for lunch (breakfast, whatever)! Saturday night, a friend came over and she and I (mostly) downed a lot of wine, and on Sunday, ze actual birthday-day, both of our best friends (and their best pooch) came over for a debauched brunch. When they left, we kept filling our corners - I never even made dinner last night! We relaxed in between the many calls he got from tons of people who love him (good for him!). So Herb is now 34, and his birthday was like him - easy going, relaxed, funny and fun. This morning wasn’t quite business as usual either, since we had to go vote two streets away and uphill (quite close too, but you try doing that run on crutches!), but the duty is done, and life goes on, with perhaps a bit more of a smile on all of our faces. (I’d take friends-filled fun-filled problem-free weekends like that any week!)
