Happy 8th birthday to Adrienne! Where do you suppose she wanted to spend her special day? In that most unholy place of parental torment,
Chuck E. Cheese, of course. It had been several years since we braved an outing there, and I hope not to darken their doorway in several more. Now, I suppose some adults thrive in a crazed atmosphere where children run wild like ruthless barbarians, and more power to 'em, but...egads. Laughing, screaming, and crying rugrats
everywhere. Hopelessly trying to maneuver my way between kids who darted every which way while blinded by the blinking lights and deafened by the blaring arcade games...it's not for me. But, Adrienne kept saying it was her best birthday ever, so it was worth a few hours of insanity.
