I fear his old age is showing.

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.

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

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

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.)

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

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….

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
