Cleo's Birthday

Today Cleo turned 17. She had friends over at lunchtime and they had cake that Amy made last night. I was out getting birthday stuff. Cleo got a little iPod shuffle, some chocolates, a little shoulder bag, a cake-decorating kit, a gift card to Victoria's Secret, a lamp, a game (Blokus) and I don't know what else.

For dinner we decided to try a place over on Alberta called Zaytoon. Amy and I had a terrific Lebanese pizza there last summer, but since then every time I go over there the place is closed. Tonight we went in, sat down, looked at the menu, got our water... and when the waiter finally came to take our order he meekly told us there were no minors allowed. Their site says they celebrate diversity, but now we know they practice age-istism.

So we went over to Ya Hala, another Lebanese food joint on SE Stark. There was a wait for a table. The place was packed. So we went to Hoda's on SE Belmont. Also Lebanese, also packed with a wait for a table.

We ended up across the street at the Tao of Tea, which was also very busy. We had a nice dinner and got home just in time for Lyle, Andrea and Honor to arrive with a gift for Cleo.

Then we watched a chunk of RAISING ARIZONA, then it was bed time.

I got a funny comic book from the Perry Bible Fellowship today. I'll post one of his cartoons, and include another photo funny:
