A cake and everything!

[jay]

I may not get to post this until Wednesday, because our communications link is still down... but Melanie and the kitchen folks put patgreene's ingredients to good use!





As you can see, they made a cake for 30... with lit candles inserted into a "43" :-). People sang... I was touched. That's never happened before. It lifted me up after an otherwise-frustrating day.



It was lovely... Pascal said "it's become a tradition to observe Brian's birthday here!" (to which someone added, "it's actually in October, this is just the official observance"...;).

Time to break out the Scotch...

Happy Birthday glad you get a cake even stuck out in the midst of nowhere on... Mars, is it? Have enjoyed the other photos too, very bleak place to find birthday candles and a grinning Brian :)
