Thursday night birthday

My birthday and Thursday night must have lined up at some point in my 18 years at Operation Nightwatch, but its the first time I remember. Old age! (Thursday night is my late night out - we visit several homeless places and a bar.)

I was minding my own business, talking with one of my Tent City 3 friends, when people started coming into the movie tent to wish me a happy birthday.  I figured my homeless Facebook friends had spilled the beans, or maybe my co-Nightwatchers. 

Then they started singing outside the tent. I come out to see what all the fuss was, and there's a birthday cake, candles ablaze, and a gorgeous redhead sneaks up behind me and gives me a smooch on the cheek.  Somehow wife Lorri got all this together in about 30 minutes. She is amazing.
