Special birthday greetings go to my brother Jim today. There's a legend that when Chesterton's younger brother was born, G.K. remarked, "Now I shall have an audience." I wasn't there when my brother was born and our family has no such legend, but as younger brother I have been delighted these last 24 years to fill the role of the laughing, cheering audience.
A future best-selling novelist and creative blogging extraordinaire, Jim also manages to be a dedicated teacher and husband. Did I mention he can be an excruciatingly precise dialectic partner?
Drop over to Decorabilia and wish Jim a happy birthday. Better yet, bring a plot with you. And buy him some more Sudoko. I hear he's run out.
