Thanks for the birthday greetings em & B.K. It's okay, em, you can say it -- I'm 47. I'm thrilled because I was sure this was birthday 48. Celebrated with friends at the Tropika. Most everyone wore tropical attire (including pith helmet). em, I drank a scorpion on your behalf and shared in a communal bahia in a rum barrel and then used my arm-length straw to sample everyone else's drinks. The food (Malaysian) was outstanding as always. I really cleaned up in the loot department: Tiki Road Trip (yay!), a House Industries "Aku Aku" (Moai) t-shirt, a very swank 1960's battery operated chrome "Swizzle Power Mixer" (because it's so tiring to have to swizzle one's drink manually), The Savoy Cocktail Book (1976 reprint of a 1930 recipe book), a Jackie Mittoo CD, homemade wine, Girl Guide cookies, & some other stuff. A fine evening, indeed. Pictures coming as soon as I have 'em.
