Happy birthday Robert Ballantyne! (@RobertB)
Twitter is one of those amazing things that brings you closer to people that you would have probably not met otherwise. Robert Ballantyne lives on Bowen Island (i.e. we don’t live in the same city). However, we both have similar interests (policy, governance, negotiation) and Robert has been an amazing source of advice both at the personal level and at the professional level.
Robert is an incredibly smart man with a kind heart, who is genuinely interested in the growth of people around him, and I’ve grown to become good friends with him. To your health I raise a glass of soda pop as I have sworn off alcohol for a while, my dear Robert. May you enjoy your birthday with your family and friends, and hope to see you in Vancouver sometime soon.

I didn’t know it was Robert’s birthday. Him, me, Kulpreet, and Sebastian’s mother; all the BEST people are born on July 10th, International Freelancers Wear Some Damn Pants Day.
