Birthday Plans

It's my brother's birthday this week. I'm trying to plan a birthday dinner and get a cake made for him. He's 54 this year, but still loves a birthday surprise. Maybe we'll go to a movie also.
His favorite restaurant is any steak house, so thats easy enough.
It's a beautiful fall day here, lots of sun. We had a bonfire last night. Bob had been clearing out dead trees so we had lots of wood to get rid of.
He found some so dead he could just push hard and they fell over. Thats pretty dead.
I'm off to Wally-world (about the only place to shop around here to get some nail polish appropriate for the season and to pick up prescriptions. All the little mom and pop drugstores around here are gone.
Our last family owned grocery store went out of business this summer. Surprisingly not due to the competition of Walmart,but lack of interest by the next generation of owners. No one in the family wanted to assume the responsibility. They had the greatest bakery. I don't know what Riptarians are going to do for their Holiday baking this year.
