Birthdays


I feel so old today. *sigh* Yeah, it's my birthday! I went to lunch with some girlfriends and that always makes me happy. Bob will probably take me to dinner.

Sometimes I feel like I would rather ignore the whole thing but my friends and family are so sweet. I like getting funny cards and flowers so I guess it's all good.

Anyway, go look at Google.com and you will see that today (June 17) is Igor Stravinsky's birthday. I had no idea who he was so I did some googling. Ahhh, a famous Russian composer, pianist and conductor. Also it's Barry Manilow's birthday. Hah! hilarious.

Do any of you share your birthday with someone famous? Here's a link that will help.

I need to go buy some books to get over the pain of being year older. Any good books you want to recommend?

A little late but hope you had a wonderful birthday. :)

David Cook of AI fame and Peter Criss from the band KISS have the same birthday as me. Cool...

Leslie: Very cool :)

Marg: So far everyone has someone very cool on their birthday but me. I better see if I can find someone more interesting. This was fun.

Happy Belated Birthday! Boy, June has been flying by!

I share by b-day with Sean Connery. I always wonder if he has panic attacks too ;)
