i said "captain", he said "what?"
today is my uncle's birthday, my uncle being my dad's brother in france.
not only is he one of my favorite people in the world, he must be one of the most interesting people out there. though i have only seen him once every couple of years, throughout my life he has been a true inspiration. he is a molecular biologist and my main scientific influence. i can easily say that if it hadn't been for him, i wouldn't be <a href="http://www.chem.northwestern.edu">where i am today</a>. he started me at a young age with gifts of microscopes and telescopes which encouraged my interest in science. funny though, he never gave me a chemistry set.
not only do we share a love of science, but of art, <a href="http://www.columbo-site.freeuk.com/">columbo</a> (the detective, not the yogurt), <a href="http://www.marx-brothers.org/">the marx brothers</a>, japanese tourists, and mussels. what more could i ask for?
happy birthday amoo saadi!

You threw me for a loop for a second - until I finished reading the sentence. I was thinking, "oh, oh, I forgot someone's birthday." Glad it was on your dad's side.
