Bob's birthday was all about food and shopping. We stuffed ourselves on Indian buffet and indulged ourselves buying office supplies at Office Max. It was a beautiful day and fun to drive around Alameda looking at houses. Though the island is small, we are always discovering new gems -- this time several streets of impressive mansions that overlooked the canal. We completed our day of self-indulgence by watching the last episode of The Pillars of the Earth, in which indulgences were traded for nasty favors. I'm glad the word "indulgence" has taken on a new meaning since the Middle Ages, but I could have used a pardon for the sin of consuming two bowls of kheer. Unfortunately, my digestive tract would not forgive me.
