Birthday Boy
Here's a pictorial representation of Tom's birthday, yesterday. He effectively took the day off to do the stuff he likes to do, much of which is illustrated here. 
There he is reading inside. 
And reading outside. A little music. A few puzzles. A movie at one of our big-time theaters (Gran Torino--two thumbs up!). Some food (PB 'n' J-his favorite-at lunch and dinner at, appropriately, Lefty's in NC). Cake, of course (I made a chocolate/chocolate) and a bit of TV (Castle and Mentalist happened to be in the queue). 
He received nice gifts and wonderful greetings in person, by email, by phone, Facebook and even a card or two delivered by the US Postal Service. He deserved it all and more, of course. 
A mini-vacation. Low-key. Restful. Just the kind of day he would have at a nice resort, somewhere. In the mountains. Or the foothills.
