Libras

I seem to know a lot of people with October birthdays: Libras (including Conrad) figure big in my life. Today is my sister's birthday and Dominic's and James', but others I know have had or will soon have birthdays to celebrate.

Hmmm.

Happy birthday Marie. My big sister hits 39. For the first time. A 2002 photo of her from Christmas that year.

Happy birthday Dom! Not yet 30, right? Darn you. A shot of you with Liz at Big Shoulders in 2004.

Happy birthday Billy Bob. Not his real name, just an in-joke that Allison will also get. Wait, is this 50, Bob? From the Library School Centenary in 2004.

Happy birthday James, and an enjoyable one in Albuquerque, I hope. A 2003 photo of you and Aimee at our place for a Christmas party.

Happy birthday Chris (and belatedly to Ronnie) - we're long past referring to you as The Child, you'll be happy to know. I think you and Ronnie will be celebrating your birthday in Australia, right? A photo from your wedding - you were a handsome groom.

Happy birthday Darth! Pokey called, and he wants a recount on the number of years you're marking. Wine tasting with you and Heidi in 2005 in Michigan.
