Tony Turns 32 My birthday came and went, and nothing happened. Tim had a board meeting, so he postponed my birthday dinner until Friday. He kept the place for dinner a secret, but half-way there, I figured out where we were going, Agnes & Muriel's--50's Southern cooking with a modern flare. When we entered the restaurant, we were shown to the stairs to the second level. As I started walking up the stairs, I heard "Happy Birthday", looked up and a group of a cappella singers was singing out. I was shocked, but Tim pushed me up the stairs. When I reached the top, I saw a room full of our friends. I was overcome by emotion--happy, excited, touched--it was wonderful to be surprised by all our friends and everyone came to celebrate me and my birthday. Aural Pleasure, the a cappella group, sang a number of songs for me and our guests. We ordered dinner, and while waiting for our meals, I was able to say hello to everyone, and open the basket of cards from all the people who could not make it. Afterwards, I found out Tim had written a touching letter to all our friends, inviting them to join us. The evening was so grand, I will remember it forever. Thank you to everyone who made me feel so special on that night. -Tony A thousand thanks to Glen for capturing the memories. I'm so happy we have photos of the evening we can share with others and look back on. Surprise! And, boy, was I! I just thought we were going to dinner at our favorite restaurant, Agnes & Muriel's. Only to find a room filled with 30 our friends.   A grand birthday serenade by Aural Pleasure, Emory University's co-ed a cappella choir. Our fraternity brother Peter chats away with Robert on the left, Darryl and Don.   Todd & Mike listen intently as Rico describes the trashy card he gave me. I was so excited to see all our friends who came, and tried to chat with each one for at least a few minutes.   Matthew shares ANOTHER story about growing up in Texas. We all know Texas is big, but his stories are even bigger! Kathy lets everyone know she can recreate that swag lamp in the background with her blow torch she keeps in the basement.   Kelly sees the perfect opportunity to sneak more food while Todd toasts the birthday boy. Tony can't thank Tim enough for such a grand birthday party.   Tim, thrilled he pulled the surprise party off flawlessly. Tommy and Ernie smile big for the camera.   Tim's lovely basket... full of cards from friends and family that couldn't make it.
