In 1984 (who could ask for more)

Joshua Bell plays Bruch, Cafe des Architectes, triple chocolate mousse, raspberry cheesecake, green tea cream trifle, cupcake cakes shaped like fluffy puppies, really just way too much cake, sushi galore at Meiji, lots of birthday surprises and unsurprises, 8 lbs of crab legs (no joke!), neuro call, Cranium meets Taboo board game mash up, Godiva chocolates, the best friends in the world, and a really fantastic boyfriend.

Thanks much to everyone for helping me celebrate my quarter-century milestone.
