Birthday Recap & Rundown

Yesterday was my 59th birthday.  I didn’t take the day off, but I did eat tacos at Torchy’s.  As pictured above, I wasn’t the only one celebrating, Gary turned 80 earlier this month (he’s my brother-in-law), and Tehau (one of my coffeehouse sons) had a party for his 40th birthday.  So anyway, after dinner last night I discovered Chuck’s Arcade was a few steps away from Torchy’s, and someone even left a credit on one of the old games… I didn’t have to drop a quarter or buy $16 worth of credits– I just played it!  It was Defender (see below) and I was never good at Defender in high school, so it lasted about 30 seconds, but hey it was free!After the arcade experience, Jenny & I walked the length of a nearby mall until we reached the other side to smell the popcorn in the theater, and then we went home.  A mellow time was had by all.
