The Andrea Birthday Aftermath

 Yesterday was Andrea's birthday. 

Here is my wonderful wife with a birthday gift, a plushie of Rise, the anti-gravity indicator from the Artemis II moon mission.


When the news of the world gets too dark, too grim or just to damn stupid, just take a look at Rise to remember when humanity at it's best sent 4 people to the moon and back. 

I took Andrea out for lunch to her favorite restaurant.

Yes, it's Olive Garden.

I do love my wife but there is no accounting for taste. 

She did choose to marry me after all.

Actually, I find that Olive Garden is not so bad if you go for lunch on a weekday.  All other times is like dining in a cattle car in a third world train.

Our waitperson Jasmine made sure Andrea got a free birthday dessert, her favorite, cheesecake with strawberries.


After lunch, we visited Andrea's father who had her birthday present which is always in the right color and the right size.

 It was a pleasant enough visit but Andrea's dad watches CNN all day long.   Which was OK.

Until.....

That's our next post.
