I wish the internet worked at my house. Today it is not, and that means this Birthday wishes for my brother will be short and sweet. My brother is creative genius.

The goal of comment love is to encourage conversation about the topics discussed on the site by ‘incentivizing’ every comment with a donation to a charity. This month’s comment love money will be going to Kiva, which was Jamie’s choice (our top commenter this month).
