Yesterday was my birthday!! So we went to Showbiz Pizza and played a lot of Dragon's Lair. No, seriously, that was Saturday night, we went to the Pinball Cafe and had some excellent ice cream and then played vintage video games and vintage pinball. Sunday we went to the Canadian National Exposition.

This year they added some attractions and seemed to be working a little harder to make the show more fun. There was a sky ride, some new coasters, and we made it down there early enough to see the Superdogs show, which is trained dogs doing tricks for treats, but still fun.

The Canadian Forces were back with big new toys to show off, including this artillery piece that was aimed at the Gladstone, near as I could figure.

And it wouldn't be a CNE without the butter sculptures, which this year included the likeness of a certain Creature From The Black Lagoon.

Shain got me the THIRTEEN GOING ON EIGHTEEN book, which is gigantic and terrific, and she baked a cake, and it was a swell birthday overall.
