Happy Birthday, Rob Lowe!

Dear Rob Lowe,

Happy 39th, big man!

I understand that you walked away from “The West Wing” over a salary dispute. I applaud this decision. I did the same thing at my job and the New York City Department of Sanitation is crippled by my absence. Don’t worry about the money either. I’m sure you’ll land on your feet like I did. I’m 39 too and I live in my mother’s basement, but I’ll get out any day now. Besides, the last time you left the spotlight in the 1980s, it only took you 10 years to get your career back on track. I’ll look for you in 2013. I’ll be 49 then too.

Erin go bragh,
Geoff Wolinetz
