The second part of my birthday celebration came on the actual day. I went to my weekly trivia game and was met by a friend/coworker and my wife. Nice to have some playing partners in a game where I consistenly come in last. I got the opportunity to showcase my knowledge and failed miserably.

The game was an hour and we stayed a little bit longer to play a quick game of Speed. I did much better in this one, but it doesn’t count as much as the Showdown. Anyways, my bartender buddy Carlos hooked us up with some free drinks and then the wife and I split for a dinner alone.

She knows me well and took me to one of my favorite restaurants in the City - Town Hall. Oh man is it good. They are known for many of their dishes, but in our circle it’s the fried chicken and the steak. We ordered both. As I took the first bite of my New York strip, I think I actually closed my eyes and sighed/hummed in extreme satisfaction.

I have to say that as far as birthday celebrations go the past several days have been pretty great. No, I didn’t go bungee jumping or skydiving, but that doesn’t mean I won’t. I’ve talked about doing both of these by the time I am 30 and I still plan on it. If you want to come along, let me know and I’ll put you on the invite list. If you don’t want to come, or don’t want me to do it, all I can say is, ‘Don’t worry Mom, I’ll be fine.’
