It’s Ryan’s twenty-third birthday. Treated him to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, followed by milkshakes at Old Dutch. Stephen and Barry joined us. We picked up Stephen’s sister, Mandy, afterwards and eventually ended up at the Bonanza Lounge for karaoke. It was my first time at a Karaoke Bar.

Mandy is quite cute. In fact, I’m a little jealous because our birthday boy got to have all the fun with her. She even sang him a special song. Anyway, the crowd that evening was great and I had an excellent time. I’m fortunate to have good friends like Ryan.
