My Happy Birthday, January 15, 2003

  

 

I fetched Hiromi-san in Seattle for dinner at Todai in Redmond...

 

     

 

Hiromi came laden with gifts... a Monet card, chocolate chip cookies, candles, incense, feather beads, bulbs, crystals, and a recording of herself, with band, singing Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released"...

 

     

 

Back at Mamasan's, where the lights were too low for good photography... but a fine time was had by all...
