green_trilobite's birthday went pretty well. Not everyone could make it, but those who did appeared to enjoy themselves. I wore my cocktail-size fez. I think I stocked just about the right amount of food, but definitely more than enough alcohol; I suppose the leftovers will be consumed eventually. Note to self - next time have more glasses that aren't martini glasses; they don't hold that much, and at least one guest found them disorienting to hold (he's blind in one eye, and they were
the kind with a curved stem).
