Happy Birthday

Today (Aug 13) is my birthday. This is my wife's favorite day of the year, because for three months it means that we are the same age - and I have to officially stop calling her my "old lady". Interesting facts about my Birthday:

- I once dated a girl in High school who had the exact same birthdate as me. Even though I dated her for the better part of 2 years, we were always broken up on our actual birthday, so we never celebrated together.

- At the same time, I also had a boss with the exact same birthday. He was working that day, so he saw no particular reason to give me the day off either.

- It is "International LeftHanders Day". I am not lefthanded.

- Mickey Mantle, the only Yankee player besides Lou Gehrig that I do not hate with a passion died on my birthday in 1995. Rest In peace, Mick.
















- Here are some other interesting people I share a birthday with (in no particular order):




Alfred Hitchcock. A great filmaker. I have never seen one of his movies







Annie Oakley. They say she could split a playing card on edge from 90 feet away, and then put 5 or 6 more bullet holes in it before it hit the ground.










Fidel Castro. Evil Dictator. And probably dead.













Brittany Andrews. Porn Star. I have never seen her anywhere except in this photo courtesy of wikipedia. I think I'm fine with that.
