Happy Birthday John!

I'm saying it anyway even though you don't read this. Ever. And probably never will. I'm going to post it in hopes that maybe someone who does read my blog might pass along my birthday well-wishing to you and then you'll be compelled to say to that person, "Oh yeah, my sister has a blog. Is it any good?"

To which that fabulous person will undoubtedly respond, "Absolutely, in fact it's one of the finest blogs I have ever read. In fact, she writes all sorts of crazy things about you on there. Like that one time when you and Gib got in a fight. And that other time when you and Gib got in a fight. Oh and that time when your sister got her first bra and you showed her a really slick way to get it on by putting your kid sister's training bra on yourself. Oh and that other time you and Gib got in a fight." (You'll say these things to him just to pique his interest because I haven't actually written about them. Yet - they might make good posts later on.) (Oh and if, after all that, he still doesn't seem intrigued enough, just tell him that there's even pictures of him back when he had braces and even hair on his head. - even though there aren't - That ought to do the trick.)

And then John will say, "Why don't you give me the address so I can check it out myself." And John will actually go home or to his office and go to my blog out of sheer curiosity because of all the things you said. Once he gets to my site and actually reads stuff, I'm fully confident that he'll be hooked. At least I hope so.

Do you think that will work?

Anyway, I hope you have the happiest of birthdays today, brother. And congratulations on the new baby.
