I'm a bit early, but I'd like to wish you a happy birthday.

Thank you! It's appreciated.

How was the Ethiopian food?

It was good. We ate at Addis Red Sea in Porter Square; I think I prefer Asmara in Central Square (among other things, the bread is better), but I succeeded in my plan to eat a great deal of kitfo, so.

Strangely, it's called The Shamrock.

That's kind of awesome.
