CELEBRATE THE FLESH!

Tonight, in honor of my birthday, I went to the waterfront Brazilian Steakhouse in Kobe's beautiful Harborland district. The steak was thinly-cut and all-you-can-eat. With a gigantic, razor-sharp machete, a Brazilian waiter would slice the steak right off skewered hunks of roast beef, duck, chicken, and pig that has been slathered in garlic and other miscellaneous spices. It was superb--a true carnivore's dream. I estimate I alone consumed several acres of rainforest that had been transformed into grazing land and processed into beef, and those acres were delicious.

The only things missing were my Bacchus-buddies. Not that you guys are 'things', but you understand what I mean.

Anyhoo, it's late, so just a short post tonight. Also, here's a delightful picture that I think perfectly captures the joy of aging.
