It's My Birthday Too, Yeah 



Birthday, Marc Chagall


33 years ago today your host boyhowdy popped into the world just an hour before Superbowl VII kickoff time, and boy, was the doctor relieved. (Factoid: in beating the '73 Redskins, the Miami Dolphins became the first NFL team to go undefeated in a season. But I think the Doctor was just happy to get to see the game.)

Authors born on this day, according to A Book of Days for the Literary Year: Hugh Lofting, creator of the Dr. Dolittle series; John Dos Passos; Tokyo novelist, playwright, and son of samurai Yukio Mishima (Kimitake Hiraoka). Also, according to Wikipedia: pro crankyman Andy Rooney, musician's musician T-Bone Burnett, alt-director Steven Soderburgh, and LL Cool J. Also Paul Anka's son-in-law, Jason Bateman.

Probability tells us that as the number of people in the room hits fifty, the odds that two people in it share the same birthday anniversary approaches 1 pretty darn fast. I get over fifty hits a day.

So. Jan 14th. Anyone else?

Hello Boyhowdy. This isn't related to your previous post, but Happy Birthday!

I didn't have your direct email account and just wanted to let you know that I've finished my tenure at NMH and will soon be moving my family South.

My old NMH address is still active and is forwarded to my new address. Drop me a note with your address and I'll bring you up to speed.

Jon

Happy Birthday old man (I'm 30 in May)!

At my school, of 40 employees we have 6 that share 3 birthdays, including me and a first grade teacher. AND 2 of the sharers are only 5 hours apart!

Happy Day to you (and Jason Bateman).
