So, time for a version of what I do for my mother every year for her birthday. She lives in Florida, so I only see her once or twice a year. Every year, therefore, I have my friends send her e-mail birthday greetings. It doesn't even matter if she doesn't know you.
My brother Jason's birthday is today, and I rarely see him, as well, even though he's only about 3 1/2 hours away. Our schedules usually don't mix well.
The point is, this is his e-mail address, and this is where I'd like you to send birthday greetings:
jpstone@adams.net
He's my oldest brother, and he's 35 today, and he's quite awesome. He's a lawyer in Quincy, IL, and lives over an Italian restaurant.
Most Saturday nights he has martinis with his friend Kirby and a Catholic priest whose name escapes me.
He also plays a mean pipe organ.
(
Let's pretend we've gotten all of the "pipe organ" jokes out of our system in advance, shall we?)
If you feel like, tell your friends to participate as well.
Wish Jason a happy birthday, my monkeys, however you see fit.
Even if you don't read this until tomorrow, drop him a line anyway.

With thanks in advance
