Throughout my life, I've rarely had birthday parties. I remember once, though, when I had one in Tokyo for lunch, then caught a flight back to Honolulu, where, as you might know, you arrive the morning of the day you left. I had a real birthday party at home. Thus, two.
Next year should be especially monumental, for I'll turn 80, meaning I'll have lived into the Year 2020. This has been a lifelong goal for me.
But back to this year, here are photos of birthday parties #1 and #2:
BP#2 featured a luau. BP#3 ended with trying to open a Napoleon cognac dragon bottle. We couldn't, and the glassware was too delicate to apply any kind of force.
However, the individual who gave me this cognac returned for a wagyu/sashimi dinner, which led to prying loose the cap with a quarter:
BP#4 began with an Ichiro Japanese Whiskey on rocks, and featured Miyazaki wagyu beef, three kinds of sashimi (chu-toro, toro and hirame), sliced onions and shiitake mushrooms fried in butter and sake, and salad of sea asparagus, cucumber, watercress, avocado and turnips. The wine was a Stanford Lohr Pinot Noir. Notice that quarter at the bottom of the second photo? That was the key to the cognac, which was absolutely wonderful. This drink has a special link to our past. Best meal I've ever had at 15 Craigside. I'm looking forward to top this next year.
She this morning sent me this obasans dancing to Bruno Mars' 24K Magic. Worth a look. What is an obasan? Well, take a look.
