(I seriously considered letting today be my special day. But going to the show alone, there wasn&#8217;t anyone to snap the photo of what I knew would ensue). His birthday cake delivery mechanism was&#8230; I won&#8217;t say &#8220;efficient&#8221; but I will say &#8220;fast&#8221;!<br \/>\n&#8212;-<br \/>\nLast night I caught a Fire Opera at The Crucible. Just as I&#8217;ve experienced before, I couldn&#8217;t understand a word of it without the subtitles, even though it was in English. But it was pretty good. And there was fire and glass pulling and red-hot metal being pounded and power tools. Lots of power tools. And opera!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;m catching 9.8th Fighting Kite Brigade in Bernal Hill Park. Real kite combat!<\/p>\n<p>And then going to the Parkway with Laura<\/p>\n<p>I got an Aerobed. It&#8217;s going to be my guest bed but until I can decide on a bed for myself&#8230; I think I&#8217;m afraid to get a bed or something. Something about settling down. Silverware, check. Kitchen table assembled, check. House still a mess, check.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and I got the first half of a &#8220;deep cleaning&#8221; (scaling and root planing) of my teeth involving novocaine and lots of scraping. 2nd half is next week. Joy.<\/p>\n<p>Last bit, I&#8217;ve starting an exercise regimen. First week down, it feels pretty good. :-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw Gallagher last week.
