Today we celebrate two birthdays here at words mean things: Arthur Coddington and my niece Anne Blust. I’m sure Anne (who’s 15 today) will be mad at her uncle for displaying such an old photo of her. But it’s so cute I couldn’t resist.
As for Arthur, he’s been my anti-war idol over the past year, an all-too-uncommon voice of common sense and peace in these troubling times. You should definitely get over to his site and wish him a happy birthday.
