A Happy Birthday to Our Fearless Leader

He's thoughtful, creative, skillful, patient, and well-bearded.

And to those of us on the Acme Packing Company writing staff, Evan "Tex" Western is a great boss, teammate, and friend.

It's safe to say that no one garners more respect in these parts than Tex, even from our often-ostentatious commenter community. His vision for our Green Bay Packers blog keeps us invigorated long into the offseason. He's the voice of reason and a calming force that keeps everything on the level. And for those of you who care about such things, he's also puppy friendly.

Well gang, today is Tex's birthday, so feel free to share some kind words for our fearless leader in the comment section. Or pictures of puppies. Or both.

There's birthday cake in the faculty lounge. Just make sure everyone gets a piece.
