Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury
Simon, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. My Simon. (Wait...isn't that a game?)
He is Simon, plain Simon, in the morning, standing six foot even in his birthday suit, even when it's not his birthday (although today it is). He is Simon here, for you, and on Flickr and Twitter, and also, inexplicably, on the Wii. He is Joaquin on stage. He is something else entirely on the dotted line. But in my arms he was always, is always, will be, always, my honeybabysugarmuffin. How's that for poetry?
We realized late last night--late enough that he was already "It'smybirthday!It'smybirthday!"ing in my ear--that I have known him since he was twenty-six years old. Today he turns thirty-five. It must mean something that he still feels like the new guy to me.
Happy Birthday, hon.







Yay, Simon! Bummed I'm going to miss the festivities, but our lives are currently consumed with relocating our belongings in the next two weeks. Bah.
Happy Birthday, Simon!
Aw, loved this. And love you guys.
Have a FANTASTIC birthday, Simon.
Ah, a Nabokov reference. My day couldn't possibly get any better.
(ENGLISH MAJORS REPRESENT!)
Happy Birthday, Simon! Can't wait to celebrate tomorrow.
oh my gosh! now I know where your son gets his looks from- they look so alike!
Happy Birthday Simon/Joaquin/Dotted Line Name! Have some cake and champagne from the Internets.
You know what I hear 35-yr-olds love to do? Post more on their blogs. :-) Especially songs. I'm sorry to be *that* person imploring you to post more. Ribbing you, is all.
Happy birthday, Simon! So sorry to miss the bash, but I'll be drinking with you all in spirit and may even sing you an off-key ditty tomorrow night.
Happy birthday Simon!
Happy, happy birthday, Simon! Wooohoo!
Happy, happy birthday, Simon! Wooohoo!

(I hope this comment isn't a double post. If it is, pretend this second one is from someone else. :))
Happy birthday, dude! I hope you get everything you wish for.
Happy birthday Simon! It was nice to finally meet you for those 2.5 seconds at BlogHer :-)
My son was born on the 22nd of May, so anyone who has a birthday falling on the 22nd is supremely awesome in my book. :)
Happy Birthday, Simon!
Happy Birthday Simon! I'll be joining you in the mid-30s club this year. :D
[barbetti - My hubby has the same birthday as your son and I feel the same way about 11s (my bithday).]
Hey... For some reason strange things are hapenning with your site layout. The edges of the text are running into each other. Everything was working yesterday. I don't know if it's me or if you've made a change... Just thought you might want to look at it. Thanks! Marriage Guide
I like your blog.
