oye como va!

~~~~happy birthday to me!!!~~~~
and so it is written:
on this day a sillymortal was born
today i celebrate my birthday...i am 35 and feel every inch it...

not in a bad way...i just feel older somehow...like some years birthdays come and go and i feel no different...but this year i do...i haven't figured out how i feel different beyond the older but in a good way bit...there's something else lurking there...good thing i have a year to figure it all out...

if i stumble on any answers i'll share them with you...

i know you were worried...

anyhow, today is carlos santana's birthday, too...which is pretty cool...even cooler if he and i could go out for birthday mojitos...though he doesn't strike me as the mixed drink type...but really, mojitos aren't a mixed drink as much as they are an elixer...he's probably busy, though...

to celebrate the lord of the ring and the boybarians and i are heading to the big city across the pond to a deli (for lack of a better word) called salumi...it's mario batali's dad's joint and i have been dying to go forever...

their specialty is they make their own cured artisan meats, among a myriad of other italian items, and it's just basically a storefront with some tables...the line is out the door for sandwiches and weekly pastas and soups, and they are only open tuesdays through fridays from 11-4...

i want an antipasto platter and a bottle of wine to start...we'll go from there...

it's supposed to be fantastic and i can't wait!

beyond that, no plans...maybe pick up some flowers and a birthday pastry at pike place market if i can brave the tourists without imploding...it's doubtful...though filled with cured meat and wine i feel i can attempt to accomplish anything...

it's a beautiful day and i plan to enjoy it...
