It’s my birthday today, and so I’m staying off the Internet and hanging out with my family. But I received this great piece of Order of Odd-Fish happy-birthday art from Jacob of Portland and I want to share it with the world! I was lucky enough to meet Jacob when I was in Portland for the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival a few weeks ago. He was one of the remarkable animators behind this Frog and Toad Together. Thanks so much for the fantastic picture, Jacob!
Today I went to the Adler Planetarium with Heather, Lucy, and Ingrid. Heather took this picture of us on the rocket simulator. Lucy and I are ready for swashbuckling adventures in the stars! (Ingrid seems a bit more apprehensive . . . )

Can’t think of a better way to spend my birthday!
