Today is Chris' birthday, and since he took the day off from work and has been hanging out with the dogs all day, I knew we would probably be going to our favorite haunt for lunch rather than him coming all the way from home to pick me up and drive all the way back home again. So, I called the restaurant and gave the bartender the heads up that it's his birthday and she should feel free to embarrass him in any way she saw fit.
They gave him a beer on the house, and when the bar was good and full they came out clapping and sang him their birthday song. He knew I was planning something (he always does), but he still turned a couple shades of red, so mission accomplished.
Tonight we are meeting a bunch of his friends from high school at another restaurant for an unofficial reunion they organized via Facebook. Fortunately my cold is a bit better today, because I felt so bad last night I was thinking I might have to miss it. But I should be okay with some drugs in my system. Unfortunately, no alcohol for me since I have been taking acetaminophen-based sinus and cold products around the clock for several days.
