- A most excellent dinner at the tapas restaurant The Iberian Pig, with the highlight for me being a dish of crispy eggplant fries with a spicy red pepper aioli. Yum. We were seated by the window overlooking Decatur square and my attempt at photographing the square through the window ended up capturing friend Steven's reflection.- We have been friends for 20 years - a long time in the scheme of things. We taught each other to appreciate the others taste in music. But I still don't love The Smiths. :)
- Today is Felix Mendelssohn's 201st birthday. I am taking along his "Symphonies Nos. 1 and 5 'Reformation'" with me for the drive to work this morning in his honor.

Well I share my birthday with Felix. :)
My partner loves the Smiths, and I can't stand them.
Cool photo, Lynn.
*eggplant fries* Wow, I'd love to try those. They sound yummy (I love eggplant and fries).
And I am impressed you know composer birthdays. :-)
I love those types of shots.
A 20 year friendship is awesome! I've never heard of The Smiths and listened to the sample on that page and I have to admit I liked the singer's voice, but not the music.
The eggplant fries sound good! Especially with the red pepper sauce.
You must have had a nice drive in, Lynn, accompanied by such glorious music.
Happy Birthday, Joe!
Thanks Talon!:D
Joe -
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I think the Smiths are depressing!

The fries were so yummy and crisp. Yum. I remembered Felix's birthday from last year - it is what inspired me to buy that CD. There is a very lyrical version of "A Mighty Fortress is our God" toward the end - I loved hearing that in a classical setting.

My drive is was lovely with such soaring music. The funniest thing happened though - I had misplaced my 100% Disco CD and it was on top of the one I wanted. So instead of hearing soaring classical music, a Kool and the Gang song came on. :)
what a neat picture.
Eggplant fries sound yummy! almost as good as donuts!

Thank you and also for adding your good wishes to the birthday men!
Aw, the Smiths are an old fave of mine. But I understand that not everybody loves what I love. ;)
So fun that you caught your friend in the reflection!
Meredith -
Then Steven would definitely love you - he loves The Smiths. The first conversation I ever had with him was about them.
I hope you are feeling better!

I don't know, but I wouldn't ask him. One of my friends saw him at the airport and approached him - telling him how she admires his acting and he rolled his eyes and didn't respond to her. She was embarrassed. But I think his behavior was shameful.
Wonderful pic, so much going on in it- n day, it sounds like!

Blue Bunny -
