The birthday plan
I don’t usually make a big deal of my birthday (especially a funny number like 31), but Lisa very kindly does. She suggested an itinerary for the day, that we tweaked a bit together. Here it is:
- Jog along the water (while she catches some extra Z’s)
- Chai lattés from Coffee Bean
- Hitting the neighborhood indian buffet for lunch
- Practicing the piano together (she’s normally resistant, because she doesn’t like playing on my unnaturally weighted keyboard)
- Reading together at a nearby café
- A nice walk along the water
- Head out to the East Bay for dinner with Lisa’s fam, where there’s a rumor that her mother’s famous applesauce cake may make an appearance.
This is a great way to usher in my 32nd year.
