Ye Olde Birthday Celebration for Brien

A couple of days after Brien's recent birthday, he celebrated with feasting and merriment at Medieval times in Lyndhurst, N.J., accompanied by Kevin and Kathy, Kevin, Shanna and her boyfriend Rick. They dined 11th Century-style and watched demonstrations of horsemanship and a jousting tournament featuring six knights in armor.

Kevin writes: "We were seated in the Yellow Knight's cheering section, but sadly, our knight met an untimely demise at the hands of the eventual champion, the Blue Knight." Nonetheless, he says, "A good time was had by all!"
