a James birthday gift

Yesterday, May 9, 2012, was my nephew James's 19th birthday.  It was a day for his friends and family to call him, Facebook him, text him, wishing him a happy birthday.  It was a day, as it happens, that he was approved for his new apartment, which we looked at once again to figure out how to help him furnish (He'll move in next month -- it's a great place).  It was a day when Jerry and I and Jon and Tom and James's friend Rory all took him out to dinner at Annie's Parlour.  And it was the day that President Obama came out in favor of same-sex marriage.  Not a bad birthday present for a young gay guy!  :-)
