I decided to postpone any birthday party

until another time, because I spent this birthday flying from Seattle to San Jose and then working into the early evening.

Still, I permitted myself the indulgence of a barbecue dinner at the nearby Smoking Pig BBQ restaurant.  I'd never visited it before, so I had to try the three-meat combo.

Oh, yeah, that's health on a plate.  (Don't worry; I didn't even try to finish it all.)

The meat was good but not great; no BBQ joint in Texas has anything to worry about.  I nonetheless enjoyed it, because, hey, barbecue.

Tomorrow, some work here, and then I fly home Wednesday!
