Everywhere, June 24, 2006 - The ideal birthday: the whole world - even the zombies - celebrate. A pretty darn good birthday: the boss gives you the day off (check: it's Saturday); you spend the day at the beach with friends (check: unless it rains); you have a fantastic dinner at a trendy new restaurant in the Meatpacking District (check: Craftsteak); you go out to a nearby hip bar (check: Gaslight Lounge) with more friends and party all night with America's top models (we'll see); afterward your wife invites a sexy friend or two to come home to continue the party (I'm so sure); the next day you wake up - no hangover! (okay, now I'm asking way too much...)
Well, I'm getting ahead of myself. It's supposed to rain, rain rain. Probably no beach. So it'll probably only be a mostly darn good birthday. You're all welcome to celebrate anyway.
