As I leaned over to pick it up,
Uncle Roger's chip fell out and bounced

just as two waiters brought in a white cake
with pink candles and pink flowers on it and
"Happy Birthday Tom" written across the top
in green frosting letters.

Silicon Valley................................................... another glass of
wine
