Those stupid tours... I tried calling a few times and got no answer. I'm glad to hear you ended up at the Brazillian place. Very amusing. I myself ended up at Pink Pepper for Thai, while there was about 6 lbs of corned beef in my fridge. Go figure. Anyway, Happy Birthday and we'll talk soon.

PS
Blogger sucks. It took 20 minutes to get this stupid page to load.
