Happy birthday to my big brother--one of them, anyway.
To the one who used to threaten me with grave harm if I told on him to Mom and Dad--which I always did anyway. I knew which side my bread was buttered on.
To the one who told me he that the reason he ate so much ice cream was that it cooled off his tongue after all the spicy foods he ate. I don't think of it as lying so much as having a creative way of understanding cause and effect. (Also, after I learned the truth, I developed a healthy distrust of what was told to me by authority figures.)
To the one who played wiffle ball with me in the backyard--even if I suspect he was changing the rules as we went along.
To the one who introduced me to the music of the Moody Blues and all the great 70s drug music.
To the one who will still engage me in debate on any and every socio-political issue, debates I may later analyze to see what makes good argumentation and what doesn't.
Happy birthday to Thombo the Clown.
Happy Birthday to the Sexiest Voice in the Pancella Clan!

i remember as kids thom and i had the great idea that pete wouldn't notice if we took just a few coins from his coin collection to buy candy at the corner store. when he found out i thought he was going to kill us!("they did WHAT?!!") fortunately i got to go home while thom stayed to take the heat. thanks thom and happy birthday!

I deny everything.
Except, maybe, the ice cream.
And the drug music.
Okay, maybe the sexy voice...
and the coins...
But, I never debate anything...well, almost never...
Thanks, all!
Thom
SEXIEST VOICE, HAH!
