So I turn 60 today. Which means I was born in 1960 - which makes this kinda my golden birthday. Then, I open this morning’s Chicago Trib, and the predicted high for today is — you guessed it! Triple golden, baby! Sign of the beast x10! I always was aware of the fact that I didn’t share my b-day w/ anyone really famous. Bo Derek, I think. But then, my SIL texted me to let me know I have the same birthday as our presumptive president-elect! Just saying, all that was enough to put a smile on this old grump’s face! Carry on. I expect this thread to sink into oblivion. Just that I never hesitate to share my gripes w/ you all - I thought I’d take advantage of sharing a rare occasion that I’m NOT pissed off about something. But I’m sure that will pass. The day is young… 😉 ---

> [@Acierocolotl](#): > > Decabeast: 60-60-60 I like it! 😃 Damn - it really shouldn’t feel so unusual to actually be in a good mood. I’ll attribute at least a portion of it to this horrible year, rather than just my innate ill-nature! ---

Hey, happy birthday! Today’s my birthday too, although I’m a bit younger. I was born 2 days before JFK’s assassination. It’s kind of a morbid “landmark” in my life. LOL! ---

My bank here in China sent me this message: > Dear Mr. MONTY, November 20th is your birthday. All the staff of the Bank wish you a happy birthday, good health and a happy life! Like I didn’t know it’s my birthday. ---

The 20th was a milestone birthday for my (not famous) wife. Though not her 60th. You’re in good company though. ---

Cool Scorpio here born on the OTHER cusp (Oct 23). We cusp people are often complex, being almost in another sign, but complex is good, right? Anyway happy b’day to all you other-cuspers.
