Sorry I couldn't make the Cork&Bottle, but had to do some work. It was great seeing everyone over the weekend.

Had a lovely birthday yesterday. Lots of drinkies with friends. Came back to the hotel to discover they had sent me a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, french chocolates, and an audiobook (I had mentioned I like listening to audiobooks to one of the managers, and he remembered).

Efrem, sorry to miss you at the RCC. I decided to switch my non-stop flight to connecting via SFO so I could get some extra sleep. I'll probably regret it on the back-end (ie, when I connect), but at the time it seemed like a good idea.

Will post pics of the weekend get-togethers this weekend. Cheers.
