Under the Wire
Apparently, Buffalo Rising's co-founder, master blogger and all-around man-about-town squeaked under the wire when he was awarded Business First's 40 Under 40 award a few weeks back.
We won't mention any names here, but we think you know who he is. If you still need a hint, he's always kept his eyes on the Queen City, and his sunny outlook always seems to keep the thunder at bay.
Furthermore, he's not George Johnson. Although George, a school chum of the other co-founder we're talking about here did have a similar birthday this fall.
So...if you happen to see a tall, lanky, sunny-dispositioned guy (who looks ten years younger than he is) running all over town today with a pen in his hand, looking for positive news to bring to you...be sure to say: Happy birthday, Newell!

We hope Newell gets everything he deserves today, and then some. Maybe he'll slow down now, leave the ladies happier, keep his dinner dates and play better pool.

Just want to make sure that Elena gets the credit she's due for writing up this very amusing birthday card. I can only take credit for having a big mouth and an editor on speed dial.
