It really
is his birthday today - so if you wished him today it isn't belated.
I thought the birthday thread of 15 years ago was rather charming - a snapshot of what GTPlanet was like pre FB, Twitter, YouTube etc. and as well I didn't want to create a new thread for just this year. It must have been a bit of nostalgia for some, too, especially those who have stuck with Jordan all these years and remember his excitement of being to Hawaii.
The world has changed - we are more fast-paced, less sentimental, and it is socially easier to be jaded - so it is nice 'when the happy return of the day' occurs, to take a moment and remember as we go older that the path we took to get there was filled with friends.
Hope that suffices as an explanation.
Now - let's party, party, party all day!
