To blogger Yvonne DiVita.

To blogger Zombyboy.

To Kevin “Silent Bob” Smith.

My great-grandmother, known as Sadie, or to us as Grandma Tranmer (in practice it always sounded like “grammatramma”), would have been 112 today, had she not left us in 1971. At the time, I didn’t realize that was premature and she was still young, not even making it to 75. She always seemed ancient, probably exacerbated by being so thin. I thought she was the coolest. And that she was like 90-something. At any rate, I wrote about her with pictures a few years back.

To blogger Todd Mundt.

To Sharon’s sister Sizanne, who is 31 today.

To blogger Chuck Simmons.

To blogger Kee Hinckley.

To blogger Doc Searls, who is 61 today.

To blogger (and actress, but you knew that) Allison Mack, who is 26 today.

To my nephew Tristan, who is 9 today.

To blogger Tammi, who is 46 today.

To blogger Trader Mike.

If 1896 weren’t too long ago for him still to be around, this would be the birthday of my rogue of a great-grandfather, an early electrician and computer guy, and sower of multiple families.

At least, Outlook says this is his birthday, and the year sounds right, but i could swear I posted about him less than a year ago, so I hope I don’t have him in there twice, one right and one wrong.

To blogger Director Mitch, who is 40 today.

To blogger John Beck.

Today would have been only the 72nd birthday of my uncle Richard, more commonly known as Dickie, had he not died way back on March 19, 1975. It’s strange to realize that he was only 38 at the time, far younger than I am now. He and uncle Billy drowned while lobstering.

To my brother Michael, youngest of the bunch, who is 37 today.

To former blogger Jim Schwab.

To Mur Lafferty, who is 35 today.
