madrobinsToday is Jane Austen's birthday. It is also Beethoven's birthday. It is also also, my brother Clem's birthday. He's my baby brother, which is to say he's two years younger than I am, which is to say he's no one's idea of a baby.
Anyway: he's a smart guy, and immensely talented. Also funny and generous. He married wisely and well, acquiring thereby a fabulous wife and three excellent stepsons. At some point, and who knows how, he became a mensch. When we were both working in comics, I was able to give him work on occasion, and knew everyone and had all the good gossip. It was a pleasure working with him for more than familial reasons.
Happy birthday, kid. I'm still two years older than you are.
