I'm happy today will probably be the last
day.
Yesterday was the first wonderful day
of this birthday weekend. We finally made
it to this little town by the coast called
Pescadero for this restaurant called
Duarte's. It's just an old family restaurant
but the freshness of the ingredients and
the simple way of cooking delighted us
more than the expensive well-educated
fares we've been sampling the last year and
a half.

Afterwards we spent an hour atop a bluff
over the Ocean and a huge flock of pelicans,
maybe 500, swooped in front of us to land at
a little island a quarter of a mile away.
This was what we were planning for my birthday
in 2001, which we spent in bed watching tv.
We still have a couple of days to gorge ourselves
fat.
