Happy Birthday!

I will hold back from getting sappy about how wonderful Bruce is. Either you already know it, or you would get bored reading it. Instead I will just mention that he's now closer to 40 than 30, and doesn't even have an iPhone to show for it!

We had a great day of celebration. Bruce arrived home after work to see his wife grilling, for the first time ever. I didn't even burn the pork chops, and the garlic mashed potatoes were a hit. Then there was the cake: Orange Chocolate Chile Marble Cake. Wow, right down to the last forkful of truffle-glazed gooey-ness.

After cake we went to see a new play, "Sleepy Hollow, The Musical," written and directed by our friend and neighbor (and doubtless inspired by our neighborhood). It was incredible! I can't do justice here to the clever lyrics, entertaining characters, and creepy staging, but when this show hits Broadway, I suggest you all attend! Anyway, we enjoyed every minute and were glad for the great company.

What do you say, Bruce? Was it a good day?

Happy Birthday Bruce! And I love the Halloween costumes---you all looked great. Looks like the Harry Potter thing was fun as well--I wish they did things like that here.

Glad Bruce had a Happy Birthday. We think he is pretty spectacular too.
A little sad we didn't get to come have some of that cake though... Yummy!
