Sadly it’s back to doing real research. My Full Moon Birthday list for 2013 garnered me a grand total of 0 points. So it’s back to actuarial work to try to move up the list. Here is my 2014 list: John McVie – 69 – guitarist and founder of Fleetwood Mack. Howard A. “Hopalong” Cassaday – 79 – 1955 Heisman Trophy Winner. Hope I’m wrong, Hop. Randy Travis – 54 – country crooner; actor. Sam Simon – 53 – producer, creator of The Simpsons. Casey Kasem – 81 – Shaggy; host American Top 40. Teresa Heinz Kerry – 75 – married politicians. Glenn Campbell – 77 – the Rhinestone Cowboy. Doris Day – 89 – singer; actress; animal rights activist; recluse. Darren “Dutch” Daulton – 51 – baseball catcher. Wilko Johnson – 66 – guitarist for Dr. Feelgood. Carolyn McCarthy – 69 – politician; buck-passer. Dana “Buck” Rinehart – 67 – Mayor, Columbus, Ohio; horrible politician.\* Michael Shumacher – 44 – Formula 1 driver. Alternates: J. R. “Beau” Biden – 44 – politician; child of politician. Valerie Harper – 74 – Rhoda. \*(Not sure whether Dana Rinehart goes in under Dana or “Buck?” Around here he’s usually Buck.) Plain List: John McVie Hopalong Cassaday Randy Travis Sam Simon Casey Kasem Teresa Heinz Kerry Glenn Campbell Doris Day Darren Daulton Wilko Johnson Carolyn McCarthy Dana Rinehart Michael Shumacher Alternates: Beau Biden Valerie Harper ---
