Before the day fades away here in the EST I'd like to take the time to wish a very happy birthday to the friend I've known longer than anyone (meeting up when we were 4 years old!) - my buddy, Mark Boucher.
Mark helped me build my first dinosaur museum in my parents basement when we were in grade school, and we co-taught a class on dinosaurs to out fellow students when we were in grade 5. Mark was there when I took my first steps in this career and has been an avid supporter of it even though his own interests run to large felids and politics. All the best!
