A Day of Irish and Brazilian Celebrations

Great fun at work today...with folks dressed up as leprechauns, playing Irish music over the sound system and general full-on silliness. Sometimes just wearing a cheap green plastic bowler hat at work will make your day. In addition, it was a co-worker's birthday, and our manager rolled out a cart onto the floor with two birthday cakes and the mandatory re-lighting candles.

While I try to make it a policy to get home as quickly as possible on drinking holidays, this evening was the only time that Heather and I could get together for dinner - at Sergio's, of course.

We both arrived early - so early the joint wasn't even open - and went next door to the lobby of the Glidden House, which is incredible. It would be great fun to spend the weekend there!

Service and dinner, all impeccable as usual. And the mandatory two pots of Brazilian coffee. Lovely.
It was so nice to spend time with a good friend...catching up, relaxing, and fun and comfortable.

Upon reflection, I realized that the last time Heather and I ate at Sergio's, she was leaving the next day for Toronto. This time, she is leaving in the morning for New York City.

Life is full of strange coincidences.
