    Happy Birthday Carl!

    Today we celebrated Carl’s birthday!

    Correction – Today, we celebrated having missed Carl’s birthday, which was yesterday. Carl, being a good sport, promised that he would one day be able to move on past this disappointment, and hopefully lead a life similar to the one he had before.
