I couldn't help but think of Mirror Image at my birthday party, because it was at a bar/pool hall and my wife and most of my close friends were there ... names and faces I have heard and seen throughout my life. I spent the night remembering and talking about the most memorable times I had with each friend. Really there was only one close friend who couldn't make it. Kind of like how it took Al forever to get to the bar in the last episode. Ha! I even wondered where the heck he was that night like Sam wondered about Al.
