Happy Birthday Tiffany
Tiffany turns 24 today. The ship is in the Port of Dover, just outside London. It has been 79 days, with 105 to go. She’s been to Iceland, the Faroes, Ireland, the UK, Norway, Sweden, Finland, St. Petersburg, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Germany, Denmark, the Nederlands, and Belgium. From here, the ship heads down to the Mediterranean and ultimately on to South America.
This makes two of her birthdays in a row that we’re not together. Last year, I was on a school trip in Hong Kong and Macau, where we lost everything playing the slots. (We bet HK$2, or about a quarter.) Macau also has a McDonald’s that doesn’t serve hamburgers, which I find completely offensive. It’s like a French restaurant with no baguettes.
Tiffany made her debut on this blog with this post, made shortly after we discovered Bello Sguardo, which has since become one of our favorite restaurants. Shortly after she appeared again when I quoted a Bill Safire column that introduced us to the word “muffin top,” a word that we found useful for describing when one's girth overspills his/her tight jeans like a muffin.
Her photo first appeared here 1/1/06, after we watched the New Year’s Ball drop over Times Square.
Shortly thereafter, we left for 10 days in Ireland, which I reported on here.

Then there was this famous picture from Spring Fling:
Here's to many more. Happy birthday, baby!
