Kind of ironic to have this next to the post about how there are no pointless posts on Rinkworks... but here goes anyway.

Today is my younger brother's birthday. His name is Daniel-and he just turned thirteen.

Wow. So he's no longer a bratty little kid, now he gets to be a rebellious teenager. Quite a step up. So... what can I tell you about him? He plays the violin, a little piano, soccer, and plans to make Eagle Scout within a year.

I got him those two mini-Harry Potter books for his birthday-"A history of Quidditch" and the guide to monsters. The guide to monsters one was actually pretty funny-it has marginal notes by Ron and Harry throughout the book.

So... come on everyone! Wish him a happy birthday!
