It's Bruce's birthday today. Chris and I took Bruce out to the Sushiman in Issaquah. It is a very good sushi restaurant. Although, as it turns out, Bruce doesn't really like sushi. He had the grilled Tuna instead.

Sushiman has dozens of different kinds of sake. We had absolutely no idea what to order and had to trust the waitress. I wonder if the Japanese have the same kind of problem the first time they order wine at a good western restuarant... normally they just have wine, red or white. But at a good restaurant they can order merlot's or cab's or zin's, California, Australia, Canada, French... You have absolutly no idea how to pick something good. But it's expensive enough that you don't want to pick something bad.

Later on we had a beer and cheesecake at the Issaquah Brewpub. The waitress gave Bruce a free birthday t-shirt. It looks very cool.

They just opened up a Krispy Kreme in Issaquah. It's the first in Washington. After we left the Brewpub, we drove by. The lineup was amazing. This morning the lineup was 3 hours long. Tonight, at 10pm, the lineup was at least an hour long. Really bizarre considering it's just a donut store.
