April 1st!

And a Merry April Fool's day to you all.  Spring in New England, is having its own merry jape at our expense today.  We've run the gamut of practically every type of weather possible in about 8 hours so far!

And I also want to wish a Happy Birthday to my favorite Green Lantern.

Yes...it's Guy Gardner's Birthday.

Or at least in MY mind it is.  It has been established fairly loosely, that Guy is an Aries, so the timing is right.  John's Birthday is in October, and I think that Hal's is in February.  But when you come to think of it, April First is the perfect day for poor Guy. 

His rotten old drunkard of a Father certainly considered the birth of a second son to be Heaven's joke upon him.  His Mother wasn't a whole lot better.  I am speaking of course of his REAL parents, the dynamic duo of Roland and Peggy Louise Gardner.  Not to mention Mace.  The whole new family that he has ended up with in the new 52 don't really count.  Hell, I can't even remember their names.  They are boring and generic, and faux O'Dare's anyway. 

Then of course, there was all the crap that he went through with Kari Limbo, meeting Hal Jordan, getting hit by a bus, recuperating, taking over for Hal, getting blown up, kidnapped, tortured, and put into a coma, coming back crazy, getting his ring taken away, getting Sinestro's ring, getting beaten to a pulp by Hal and going into another coma, coming back and getting new powers, losing those powers, and on and on and on. 

And maintaining his sense of humor throughout it all. 


So a Happy Birthday to my favorite Red-Haired Maniac.
