I had a nice birthday this year, Debbie threw a great party with a spanish theme including Paella, mushrooms, patatas bravas, awesome cheese, and spanish wine! We packed the house with a few friends and marveled at Debbie's mad cake decorating skills. This year it was a functional chess board, since I've been enjoying playing chess games on chess.com with friends recently.
(It's a shame having so many friends we can't fit them all in the house at once, but I guess there are worse problems to have!)
