Happy birthday plural.

let's see...

when I was 26 (shudder ten years ago), I was working as a staff artist for a local newspaper. the gulf war had ended, and I was still commuting only by bicycle. My wife and I were engaged to be married in Dec, and if I remember correctly, at this time in that year, I'd just started back to school in earnist and had enrolled full time.

good times, good times.
