Ol' red-eye is about to clock up one more year, once again frustrating the gamblers in the family who had him high on the dead pool list. On top of starting this blog and keeping his eye on it so it always works, he's heading towards the sharp end of his PhD thesis and will probably become the family's first "Doctor" outside of medicine. This is no easy path (and he won't thank me for putting extra pressure on him) and he still has some of the hard bits to go (like actually writing it) but he can glimpse the light at the end of the tunnel. In the meantime, as you can see below, he's found ways to keep some balance in his life and continues to be a much-admired son, brother, nephew and cousin. I'm fixing his motorcycle as you read this and will deliver it to Sydney in the next few weeks so that he can approach his future at high speed. We'll toast you in Melbourne, Adam, and look forward to seeing you at Christmas.

Happy Birthday, Adam

Congratulations, you guitar-slingin' hero.
congratulations adam, happy birthday mate, you deserve a good night.
On a different note, i have a laptop computer that i will not be requiring for atleast a year. it is a good laptop, almost brand new that i am willing to loan to a uni student or someone in the family in that kind of situation. If you know of a cousin or uncle- Except Grant- please let me know. And who can forget, Marianne celebrated her 35th birthday again on Monday- happy Birthday Mum.
Ahh.. well cancel that about the laptop, you have to be quick in this place.
hazza, i'm a poor uni student in desperate need of a good laptop. whatever the other person offered you, i'll offer you half of that and a set of stake knives. i am your sister, favourite sister i might add. please please please.
happy birthday adam. celebrations??? a guitar legends party wouldn't be such a bad idea.
i can't afford steak, so it really is stake i'm offering
happy birthday brother!!
no time for celebrations thou u should be doing your phd. I'm looking forward to reading your thesis, right after i beat guitar hero.....
love dom
Alaine, you and daniel can battle it out, but be warned it comes with responsibility this computer- you are basically my book keeper, and Dom, who are you trying to fool- you can't read.
happy birthday champion!
Harry, this is the 21st century. You don't need to be able to read if you're a bitchin' Guitar Hero player.
Also, happy birthday Adam. If there was a Cousin Hero game, you would be able to finish Less Talk More Rokk on expert.
...I think I'm gonna go play some Guitar Hero.
How addictive is that game?
Grant ripping into Adam about finishing a uni degree....
"Hello Pot, this is Kettle. You're black!"
Happy Birthday Adam!
