Happy Birthday Grandpa Joel.

Today marks a milestone in Grandpa Joel's life...So we celebrate! In recognition of this day, all official business of The Revolution is suspended until sometime on Saturday, January 6. Of course, The Revolution will not resume too early Saturday morning so as to allow for convalescence. Those revelers that find themselves hungover or in jail (or both) have until the afternoon to return themselves to fighting form.

Desmond wanted to submit the photos showing that he too will be in a festive mood. He is shown wearing his balloon hat that makes him very happy. In the second photo it may be apparent that Desmond's partying may have gone too far already...he is beside himself. This is not altogether a surprise because he loves his Grandpa very much, and is very pleased to celebrate his birthday.
