Happy Birthday to my brother-twin, Arthur J. Giacalone, who is (yikes) fifty-five years old today.
Best wishes always to my first friend! Being a twin does not always mean harmony, but it certainly
does mean having a safety net of care and understanding. As the decades go by, I find myself
missing my brother’s physical presence more and more — email and phone calls and quick holiday
visits among throngs of family members aren’t enough. Arthur lives about 300 miles away. (And, yes,
dear reader, it is strange watching your twin grow older. So far, he’s doing it gracefully.)

Humble and smiling thanks to my Pasadena friend
George Wallace , who took up my dare on his Dec. 6 birthday
with a reciprocal birthday double-dactyl of his own, with wishes
for my twin Arthur, and all the f/k/a alter egos, too:

Thank you, Martin and Evan. It’s great making friends in the weblogiverse.
Yes, there is life after 50 — it is, however, not always intelligent life, and quality can vary. On the other hand, it’s nice getting this far and still having a sense of humor.
