A year older and sadder
So I’m not talking to any of you. It was my birthday yesterday and no one wished me. (Well, two people did. Thanks Skelly and the other person who knows who he is.) Oddly, the exact same thing happened last year. I’m beginning to believe that you people don’t care about me – and it’s evidenced by the disrespect I’ve been getting in various parts of the country. Just for that, I want you all to stare into my eyes and beg for forgiveness (and no, I will not put it behind a cut):

Awwwwww, now I feel like a jerk. But I didn’t know it was your birthday, mostly because I don’t like those spammy little apps on Facebook that I have to use to find out when it is….but if you want me to wish you a happy birthday next year, friend me on Facebook and I’ll add you to my birthday calendar.
For this year, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY…hugs and smooches.

thank you! Gideon would appreciate the good wishes, seeing as his life was mostly crappy.

mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. But – how should I know?
However – Gideon:
Belated – Happy Birthday and all the best to you!
And some German verse:
Wie schön dass Du geboren bist,
wir hätten dich sonst sehr vermisst.
Greetings,
Joachim

Hey – well then, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. I didn’t know either! Your work and blog is much appreciated, even though you may not be aware of all those who follow it, because they don’t comment often. For instance, me. And your post reminded me of another birthday I was about to miss….

I thought about you all day yesterday. ;] Happy Birthday Gideon!

Happy belated. Plus I promise not to forget next year.

Yeah, yeah, that’s what you say every year.

True, but this time I mean it.

But I think about you every day! And, really, what better birthday gift could I give you than dedicating myself to providing the assistance of counsel to indigent defendants? I get your point, though. Everyone wants a birthday greeting, so next year I promise I’ll make you a cake. (We did have donuts at my office, but that had more to do with basketball than honoring you.)

Oh thank you. That’s so sweet of you to say!
I don’t like donuts that much. Bagels are better and pizza is the bestest.

46 years old! Here’s wishing Gideon and its progeny long and happy jurisprudential lives.

I fear his old age is showing.
