46 Years and Counting

The Twins enjoyed their 46th birthday yesterday. The event was celebrated in the usual fashion: dinner at the Blue Cat Brew Pub in downtown Rock Island, and then a hop across the street to Copia for martinis. "The Marilyn" is my favorite. And I should just stick to one, but never do.

Tim was ready for bed at 9:45 p.m. He announced this at 9:00 and started rushing us through our drinks for 45 minutes but managed to down a scotch himself in the meantime.

We all made it home OK and Tom had to take one last look at his birthday gift from Tim before going to bed: a buffalo skull with a tole painting of a mountain scene with, yes, buffalo in it. Good thing that there's a garage to hang it in.
