Being the shy, quiet, reserved person that I am, I agreed to a night out with friends to officially celebrate by 40th birthday while in Las Vegas. I was in town on business and elected to do a personal night out rather than do dinner with business associates. We went to dinner at a restaurant called Alize, on the top floor of The Palms hotel in Las Vegas. It offers incredible panoramic views of the strip, which is so beautiful at night. I enjoyed a glass of champagne as we toasted my old age. I'm honestly not hung up on the age thing, but I've been having fun with a now week-long celebration of my birthday. I almost wore an ascot that night, but I didn't bring one that matched this black shirt!
Now the important stuff: The Cake!
above: My third chocolate birthday cake so far. It has delicious chocolate mousse in between the layers!
above: Inside Studio 54, I was busy dancing and enjoying the night. It was an unusual evening for me, as I rarely stay out so late, and certainly not to go dancing at a nightclub! All in all it was a fun time, and a wonderful way to wrap up my birthday celebration. I promise not to blog about my birthday again until next year...

Woo Hoo! Happy Birthday - a little late, but better late than never, Right? That cake sounds absolutely scrumptious!
Aw, don't ever apologize for celebrating, Rick. I think we earn that right. Besides, you're "much" younger than I am, so I think you can probably survive the nightlife easier than I can!

Happy belated B-Day :)
Another belated Happy Birthday! Forty isn't bad. It gets better because the years are in a way freeing.
