May 28, 1994: I wasn't surprised by my surprise birthday party


Thirty years ago today

            On Saturday I didn’t see my daughter because her mother was catching up on spending time with her after her month in Cancun. In the evening I went to Mary Milne’s house for dinner and as I suspected it turned out to be a surprise birthday party for me with Tom Smarda and Steve Lowe showing with their guitars. Mary had presents for me: two second hand Leonard Cohen albums to replace the ones that my ex-girlfriend Yvette smashed three years before; some Pilot pens, a hard cover writing book, and a birthday card she’d drawn herself. We talked and sang and played songs until late. It was a great party.
