Finally, about Leo the zodiac sign. Seems to fit me.

Last night one of the Pharmacist brought a chocolate cake and a lemon tart to celebrate not only my birthday but another Pharmacist who has the same birthday. She brought it last night since I was not working tonight. A co-worker friend that cant come tonight since she is working suggested pizza to split. It was a good night at work.

Today is turning out better than I had planned. I had a general plan but as things have morphed I am pleased! After lunch at my parents we are coming back here and popping some sparkling wine before heading out into FT. Another friend from work (movie buddy) is coming here to sip before we go play. A few folks might meet up along the way. I know it was short notice so I'm not expecting many to show. It will be more birthday surprises.
