pjthompson | Celebration (Reply)

I celebrated the day before my birthday last night at El Torito where I engaged in food that wasn't good for me (in light of this week's bellyache) and a few too many margaritas (which may not have been good for me, either, but I needed them). So far, the belly's okay, though the work stress continues.

And I celebrated my birthday today by mailing out my third story for the week. This last one comes under the rubric, "Snowballs In Hell," as it has next to no chance of making it, but it would have had zero chance sitting on my harddrive, as they say...

Three stories sent out in one week may not sound like much to you, but for me that's a hurricane of activity. The other two probably have more of a chance, but...

And I will be celebrating tonight with takeout and jammies—which suits me way the hell fine. Tomorrow, I go out to dinner at a lovely little French bistro in Playa del Rey, Bistro du Soleil, and then I'm done. A year older, slightly less deeper in debt, no wiser, but very grateful for my friends.

Birthday wishes also go out today to Scott Baio, Tommy LaSorda, Erich von Stroheim, Bonnie Hunt,
