My mom suggested lasagna for dinner that night. Queue the 20 minute rant about why he did not like lasagna, why he only eats the frozen lasagna from Omaha steaks, how it was his birthday and he did not have to eat lasagna if he did not want to...yadda yadda yadda. And the thing was...no one said anything to argue with him! A simple no would have sufficed.Oh my.
My 50th was one of the best b-days I've ever had. My DWifey and kiddos got me my first iPhone and sent me on my first ever helicopter ride. It was AWESOME!!!

It's Cuban night!
Tonight, my friends, we travel to our closest island neighbor for inspiration. We are making CUBAN!
The menu tonight will consist of:
Churrasco Estilo Cubano (marinated skirt steak) served with a home made Chimichuri

Pescados Asado (Grilled Salmon) with a fresh spicy mango salsa

Both are served with a side of perfectly seasoned Frijoles Negros con Arroz Blanco.

There are two desserts available.
Flan de la Riena with homemade caramel sauce

So, grab your mohito, beer or wine, and pump up the music. The fun starts now!

Ouch! Ya' may not wanna' be around him when he turns the ol' 6-0...!
JK, LOL, and all that jazz! 
Funny thing is, I really wasn't expecting much, if anything, other than a card or 2 and a cake maybe. It was just another day to me. But, then they went and did all that and made it very special for me. I do love them so!

I missed a bunch of posts but am too tired to catch up. But didn't want to forget to post this lite anecdote
We ate dinner at Captain's Grill - it was yummy. For those who have eaten there, we were at the first table on the left - which is practically in its own room. So while eating one of the overhead lights burned out, making it significantly darker in our little room. When the waitress came over she immediately noticed and jokingly asked, "what happened here??". So I replied, "I think Meg forgot to pay the electric bill. It's her fault".

Ralph Lauren was the designer, and usually, I like love his designs (never over=the-top, just classy). However, the large designs and bold colors were a turn-off for me. I didn't mind the sweater style being featured, it was just the larger-scale, bright designs that were disappointing.

Aside of any physical issues, what's most important is if you're young-at-heart. You seem to be actively involved in life and upbeat. That's very positive!

Grief is a funny thing - you think you've got it under control, and then it sneaks up and bites your behind.

Looks like fun!I really should feel guilty about all the BBQ I just consumed...but I don't. I'll save that for tomorrow.
It was at Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q. A central Texas original that now has locations in 5 states. It's served family style on butcher paper. I had some ribs, brisket, chopped beef and sausage.
Was totally not in WDW food pic mode but did manage to snap a shot of the counter as we were walkin' out.

So our guests will be landing in Orlando in about an hour. They were supposed to be here Wednesday but their flight was cancelled due to weather. Hopefully they'll have better weather here!
Just one word about the opening ceremonies last night.... boring!!!! I actually fell asleep in the middle of it.
And @JenniferS, ((hug))

I turned off the opening ceremony. Repeat episodes of ancient aliens was far more interesting.

That's actually the problem. The body no longer cooperates! The depiction of older people running, playing ball games etc. are not indicative of the reality that I see. My mind, to me, still feels like when I was a teenager, but the rest of me cannot keep up. A combination of aging, accidents and expectations from others forces reality on you. It's not awful, just frustrating sometimes. For example, in a time that just doesn't seem very long ago, I was always walking way ahead, now they have to wait for me. That frustrates and embarrasses me. I know it shouldn't but, it does. I have been fortunate that I haven't lost my strength, but because of my age, if something needs to be lifted or moved, volunteers come out of the wall to "do it for me". On one level, it's cool, but, on another it makes one feel a little helpless.
I go to Disney solo. That is no longer a problem as far as that status is concerned, but, you would be amazed at the looks I get when someone asks me what I do there. I say, well, let's see... I rode Rocking RC, or ToT or Mission: Space and I have actually been asked if I didn't think I was a little too old for those rides. It, at some point, starts to affect just how we look at ourselves. Maybe we are too old. So far, I have been able to say, to hell with them, I will do what I like for as long as I can. And I always remember those words my Mom aimed at my Dad.. "You will have an eternity to rest... live while you can".

But I'll bet your aliens weren't dressed as funny as some of those athletes.
