Capricorns. They're goats, and their birthdays fall between December 22nd and January 19th. Capricorn is the third earth sign, the sign of the priest, the ambassador, and the scientist. Capricorns are characteristically ambitious, diplomatic, persevering, reserved, and afflicted with deep depression... except for last Thursday.

All of Tripod's resident Capricorns — Kara, Ethan, Heather Snowman, Neil, and Gail Burns — celebrated their birthdays with a bash at the local Purple Pub last week. This was no small affair. Mags was seen out for the first time since little Charlie arrived. The artist formerly known as Senior Editor Emma returned to Billsville for the event, because hey, even New York City doesn't have a Purple Pub! The jukebox was jamming, mostly with Celtic tunes thanks to the new MIS Manager Cian (we think he was Braveheart in a former life). Tripodians practically took over this cozy (read: teeny) local landmark.

There was one partier who missed the celebration — Chris Young, the Tripod Toymaker. Chris leads a tough life: instead of drinking cold beer in an ice storm, he has been vacationing in New Zealand for the past three weeks. He licked a glacier though. That could count for roughing it. He also sheared a sheep, and visited his aunt and uncle's olive farm. Remember, it's summer down there. Mmmmm, summer...
