31 Candles:

Smokler on August 7, 2004

Hello from Dublin, 20 feet from the River Liffey. Today is my birthday. I’m 31. Suzan surprised me with a piece of cake in bed from our new favorite vegetarian place right off of Grafton street. It was delicious. I also had two cards from my mom and dad.

We’re going to be taking a local’s tour today with our friend (and native Dubliner) Tom Cosgrave, hitting the Dublin Co-op Market, hopefully the Dublin Writer’s Museum and having some fish and chips at Burrdock’s. We leave for the North country tomorrow.

If you absolutely must, I have an Amazon Wish List for late gift giving. But only if you must. I’ll be throwing a post-trip getogether back home in San Francisco.

See you soon.

    Our new marching cry, banners unfurled, reading (in a simply lovely font): “Cake In Bed!”
    Onward into a great decade, my friend. 🙂
