We always take a little time off around the holidays because it's Christmas. Yeah! And there's nothing wrong with that. Of course! The world stops! I mean, I really hope it sucks for people who can't have, you know, a little time off. I know. I wish everybody got. I worked so many Christmases as a server. Whoever's working for Christmas, we love you. Yeah. Everyone except my butler, they get time off. Oh, what? Jeffrey in the morning.

He's also got to a server. But thanks to the video board that they installed out in our lobby, I realized our technical director Ashton has a birthday on December 20th, which means we miss it every year. We do.

But not this time.

No.

That might be his gift is that he doesn't have to be here.

No.

We're going to celebrate that little red-headed rascal with a fun fact about his life.

Oh, by sharing a fact.

He's in the room.

You're acting like you're not talking to him.

This is in celebration of him. He doesn't have to talk about it. He's in the room. You're acting like you're not talking to him. This is in celebration of him.

He doesn't have to talk about it. He doesn't get to participate. If you go back exactly nine months from his birthday, it lands on March 20th.

Okay. That's right. The Vernal equinox. The first day of spring where his mom and dad came out of hibernation and made sweet, sweet love to each other.

A very fertile day.

Yes.

Think about that.

Mr. and Mrs. Ashton squishing goodies on the first day of spring.

Just shaking those cherry blossoms.

And we've all met his parents, so I can visualize.

Happy birthday, Ashin.

Yes, it is beautiful.

Ashton, are you picturing it right now?
