Late Birthday Celebration

James, Lila and Jon

The gathering for James One's first birthday was delayed a few days. Lila was finishing up her summer calculus class. We met on a VERY hot day in downtown Hillsborough for lunch at LaPlace, a New Orleans style eatery on the main drag. Pretty good, although the menu was a little heavy on the meat. I mean they grind their own sausage in the basement. We stopped in at the Eno Gallery so I could check out the competition. I have to say there are some extremely talented artists in the area. I was humbled. After lunch we headed to Greensboro with a quick stop at the Alamance Arts Center for the Leonard Nimoy photography exhibit. He was a wonderful photographer--who knew?! Then on to see Mal. We ate AGAIN at Pho. Double Down, as Louis C.K. calls it. I was still full from lunch so just had an appetizer. Mal is working on a graphic novel with his friend, Kellin. He does the writing and Kellin is doing the art. We ran into an intense thunderstorm on the way home. Typical summer weather. All in all--a good day.
