I'm behind on all of your blogs. An...I'm so behind! I'm behind on all of your blogs. Anyway... thank you, LSM. I think I vaguely remember the birthday party our MCF threw, though that may be more the power of suggestion than anything. That's pretty cool. With all of the cattiness that can go on in high school, it's good to remember how cool our friends could be.<BR/><BR/>TadMack: There was one good Mexican restaurant in my college town, and it was quite good, but alas, that was the only "actual ethnic" place nearby. For anything more that was a bit of a South Bend was the place to go. I remember going back to my college town a few years ago and trying to order a proper salad in vain-- the best I got was shredded iceberg with a tomato wedge on top. Still, when it came to breakfasts, my college town could not be beat. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the early birthday wishes! When the actual day rolls around, I'll probably grind the ground with my toe a la Anne Lamott and pretend to be modest.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-68547350060016676782008-03-16T12:59:00.000-07:002008-03-16T12:59:00.000-07:00Man, I wish I could give you a surprise party!

If they wanted you in a good mood, they should at least have taken you somewhere actually <I>ethnic</I>. Olive Garden is as Italian as... well, I just don't know what. But it's NOT Italian!<BR/><BR/>Anyway.

Surprise parties are cool. ...Happy early birthday! Surprise parties are cool. The only one I ever had (that was really a surprise) was the one our mutual childhood friend threw for me on my 16th birthday - I felt cherished (she actually stole my address book and invited people she didn't even know as well as our friends from school and she collaborated with my mom who was not her biggest fan). Some colleagues tried to throw me a surprise baby shower once, but I could tell. I hope your birthday is full of wonderful surprises.Lone Star Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339475499304565638noreply@blogger.com
