HOW I SPENT MY BIRTHDAY

First off, mahalo (thank you) to all who left very nice wishes in the comments or e-mail. And isn't Miss Holly Muppet a little doll. She resides in the southern realms of Oz.

Got the daughters camera off to her via UPS Second-Day Air. She'll receive it on Wednesday.

Renewed my driver's license. Those damn things now cost $30. I get to renew it in 6 years, 2012, when I turn 65. Thats a toss-up.

Did my one large load of weekly laundry.

Cursed out Blogspot when my primary site went ERROR CODE 500 - INTERNAL SERVER ERROR for about 90 minutes. Don't forget, if you can't access the primary site, the "back-up", Blogger-Beta, site should be available. http://paradisedriver.blogspot.com. The only significant difference between the two locations is that "comments" are disabled on Beta. It just makes it easier for everyone to corral "comments" in one (Blog) spot.

Picked Judy up at work just a little past 5pm.
Took her to Ruth's Kris Steak House, at The Shops At Wailea.

She had the petite filet, I had the Filet. We skipped appetizers and salad. Lyonnaise potatoes and fresh asparagus rounded out our menu. A complimentary (my birthday gift) bread pudding, with whiskey sauce, was shared for dessert. We took home "doggie" bags. Scan around their site, its very descriptive. The food and service were impeccable. I would rate my steak as the second best one, by just a smidgen, I've had in my entire life.

After dinner we walked around The Shops. Some of the stores were very interesting.

Please note that art galleries really frown on people taking photographs of their merchandise. So I cupped my camera and tried my best to get some surreptitious shots. That explains why some are a bit out of focus.
