We told my parents we were taking them out for their 60th birthdays (close to each other), and the way to the restaurant went right past the hall where all of their friends had gathered. Not very subtle, or as well-played as \*\*Tokyo’s[\b], but effective nonetheless.

No, the lie was needed to wage war with a master strategist. The prettiest woman in my known universe doubles as an Olympic-class originator of surprise parties.

For clarification, we already had the suprise party, this last weekend. She was completely surprised. I had it before her birthday, so that she wouldn’t suspect anything.

We’re still having our get together tomorrow at our house.

Anyway, it was great, and I’ve got to upload pics from the party.
