Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag

I realized after posting the Gorey link that today is my (other) nephew's birthday, and in light of this my sister might assume that Gorey's work somehow indicated my feelings (conscious or otherwise) for him (or children as a whole). Which is completely untrue. I like kids, really I do (mostly) - there are many I even love. I merely stumbled into the Gorey website and decided I had to link to it. My nephew is probably the sweetest boy I know, and the funniest (ask him to tell you a joke, particularly a knock-knock joke). And what I said for his older brother's birthday is true of him as well; I don't see him often enough (it feels worse, in fact, because I moved to Massachusetts five months before his birth, and so have seen him even less frequently than his brother - and I can't believe I've been an expat for four years). Anyway, Happy Birthday from your west coast Aunt and Uncle, and I'll work on making a Gorey enthusiast of you.
