Post-birthday report

Um, what happened to July, and why does it seem like the summer is almost over? Oh, right— it’s October in Seattle today and it’s making me tired. Apologies for the lack of reporting during the month of July—internet was down for a week, it got ridiculously hot, internet was restored, and then there was a laptop incident (RIP G4 Powerbook).

But, since I just received a belated birthday present, I feel it necessary to go back and provide a post-birthday report. Since nothing could top the banana party of last year, this year was a bit more low key with happy hour cocktails at my favorite summertime bar, Zig Zag Café and feasting at Green Leaf in the International District. We ate so much food, I can’t remember what we ordered, but it was really, really good!

To end the evening right, Regenius (honky) brought Chinese birthday pastries for dessert for me (chonky)! And even though there was no banana cake this year, I did get monkeys in a banana kayak…

and an owl from Illinois… whoo whoo!

XO to all my favorites. You know who you are.
