okay. so his birthday probably ISN'T really october 29th -- we made that up. and whenever his real birthday IS, maybe he isn't going to be five this year. but he's somewhere near there. AND, just MAYBE, gibson isn't his real name. but we got him presents. he got a zerbil, and a toukie. (if you never come to this house, you'll never know). and he seemed generally happy. this is his official "birthday" portrait, grainy and moody like gib himself.
