Birthday Recap

Michael had a nice birthday. He got lots "Happy Birthdays" at work, the cake was eaten, one guy gave him a bottle of wine and he was so touched by all the attention. William phoned just before we went to dinner. He is in Southern California for a week of rehearsals before a two-month tour working for a group that was huge about ten years ago. They are releasing a new album, thus the tour. Several of his friends are also working this tour so it should be fine.

We celebrated Michael's birthday with dinner at a place just down the road, overlooking the harbor and watched the sunset. He had their famous Lobster Roll with a bowl of clam chowder while I had just a bowl of gumbo. We are back in the diet saddle again beginning this morning. I would love to lose about six pounds and maybe more....focus is on diet and exercise. Everyday.

This morning is the descent into the yoga hell class. Afterwards, I will need to shower before the first rehearsal of the season with my little local orchestra this evening. That will eat up a lot of calories!

The light has changed, Fall is here and there was even a bit of morning sunshine this morning. It is still unusually muggy here but I am not complaining. It was nice to sit out in the garden without a jacket last night. We are still sleeping with the windows opened and just a sheet. So unusual.
