Jenny's birthday was today, Juneteenth. She had never heard of that "holiday," being from New Mexico (which didn't join The Union until 1912.) But we celebrated her 22nd birthday at a parilla called Soberbia 22 at 2200 hours. She hadn't planned for all the numbers to be 22. Annemarie realized it before Jenny did and thought it was part of the plan. The group included the birthday girl, Annemarie & Damian, Mark, Jenny's Irish dance friend Hugo, and me. We sang the birthday song in both languages and got (what I assumed to be) free champagne and tiramisu. Jenny's response? "I don't like tiramisu, but I like champagne." Since it was still pouring down rain at 1:15 am when we left the restaurant, it was decided not to go to Hotel Bobo for drinks. (I think the hour also played into effect.) But Jenny and I are determined to check Amerika off our lists. If only for a couple hours. I think we're leaving in a few minutes so we can get there a little before 3 am. T.G.I.Th. Thursday nights start and end a bit earlier than weekends.
