Today is my nephew Nick’s seventh birthday! Unfortunately he had to go to school and Christmas is around the corner so I’m sure he usually gets stiffed on the presents. You know, people give him one gift and say it covers the holiday and his birthday. Well, I don’t know. That was usually my experience with the kids whose birthdays hovered around the end (or beginning) of the year.
He’s a pretty cool kid. I’ve only met him person when he was three and it wasn’t under great circumstances (Grandma’s funeral). I got to have a long discussion with him over the phone. Somara and I are really hoping to have him come visit us in Texas. Maybe we’ll have good luck with spotting a real tarantula in the tall grasses of the western part of this area.
