alles Gute zum Geburtstag

Happy Birthday
to
Gryphon’s Aerie!
Today is the first birthday for Gryphon’s Aerie.
It is NOT the first birthday for Gryphon!
Gryphon himself is 463 years old (give or take a score).
THIS is a Baby Gryphon!
(linked)
I only include it here because this is a first birthday and first birthdays are usually associated with babies, and besides….. well never mind.
This is actually the first birthday of the AERIE! The place where Gryph hangs his hat.
THIS is the Aerie!
If you want to give Gryph a nice present, then browse the Aerie, read a lot of posts (a few will do) and make some very pithy comments.
Although it hurts me to say this I will do it JUST this once for Gryph.
And We Thank You For Your Support!

good night and good luck.

Happy 1st Birthday to your blog!
And Happy belated 463rd to you. I did the math. You were born is 1546. An exciting time. Rwo key events of that year were: Jan 23rd – Having published nothing for eleven years, Francois Rabelais publishes the Tiers Livre, his sequel to Gargantua and Pantagruel.
Jun 7th – England signs Peace of Andres with Scotland/Ireland
Gryphon said
Which piece did they sign? Was Andres mad about it? inquiring minds want to know…….

makes sense to me.

Martin Luther died the year I was born. Coincidence?????
Boy, were the Catholics mad at HIM!? I don’t think they ever really got over it either.

Happy Birthday, Dear. Glad Spot let you out of your hole for the celebration.
Unfortunately I’m late. Please let him out again. Otherwise you are a bad Spot, Bad!

Happy returns Gryph…or the Aerie to be more precise!
Sorry I haven’t been around at all, only just got your message on my ‘about’ page regarding your blogroll. I completely understand you taking the Run off as there’s been a couple of months of inactivity. Basically I started my masters in political economy in October and have been bogged down in reading and assignments for that so haven’t felt like writing at all. Think I may make a return soon though, but may create a whole new page. I’m not 100% sure whether it’ll be on WordPress or not, but I’ll let you know.
I hope everything is going ok with you and I’m happy to see the Aerie is still going from strength to strength!
Gryphon said
Good to see you, Kennedy!
I do hope you come back and make your presence felt again. I will be thrilled to link you when you do.
“Political Economy?” *shudder*
sounds fun. Alles Gute!
