It&#8217;s a big day for him.  One he gets to spend on a airplane, surrounded by people he has never met.  Not exactly a prime birthday celebration situation.  Especially because his flight is due to arrive at 12:00am, the day <em>after<\/em> his birthday.  Bummer.<\/p>\n<p>Good thing I get to give Dan a birthday present that he has been wanting for a loooooong time: steak!  Yes, you read right.  My sister told him about this Brazilian steakhouse awhile back and he&#8217;s been wanting to go ever since.  Reservations are made and Dan will finally get to experience this &#8216;endless meat&#8217; tradition.  Apparently you have this little dual-coloured doohickey on your table to signal the waiters.  Blue side up means &#8216;bring it on&#8217; where the waiter knows to bring more meat to the table (on giant skewers, I might add) and red side up means &#8216;whoa, I need a minute to digest&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of this kind of dinner disgusts me, but it was a special request and I&#8217;m a birthday wish-granter.  So steak it is.  Dan will have to give the review once he gets over the meat sweats that he will no doubt experience.  Ew.<\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday, Dan.  Fly safe.   And prepare your belly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan turns 31 today. It&#8217;s a big day for him.
