The younger son of my friends Paul & Helen turns nine today. Unlike his older brother, it appears the weather has panned out in his favor; last month’s weather made DC resemble the South Pole for a while.
I spoke to Helen last night. We didn’t get around to discussing the festivities, I think the weekend is packed with sports to play.
Meanwhile, I just realized that his birthday coincides with the Battle of the Alamo; the infamous diversion which helped Sam Houston gather enough forces to beat Santa Anna later on at San Jacinto.
If you know Jack and/or his parents, drop him a line. Unlike Nicolas, iCal gave me the heads up to get a card out on time.
