36.

what a busy, full and wonderful birthday

i had yesterday! i started with a three hour

critique group meeting with my writing friends.

brainstormed with them about possible revisions

to the sequel.

in the evening, tried market in del mar for the

first time. very impressed by their food! the love

and i both did the four course tasting menu. their

portions are huge! they list all the dishes offered

on the menu with a trio of ingredients (which i won't

remember here).

most amusing thing was that...
