I had the best birthday party ever last night.
sadira took me out to dinner at Amelia's Trattoria, and when we returned to her apartment, it was stuffed full of my friends. Yes, I was very surprised: "You guys... you'll give an old man a heart attack!"
I got some phat presents, including an exquisitely hand-crafted, life-sized*, fully-equipped (saddle bags and all) Fluffy replica in flannel.
I still feel all warm and fuzzy from the whole thing.
* Four feet long -- the size Fluffy will attain in adulthood, hopefully several years from now.
