President Obama turns 51 this Saturday, August 4. Happy Birthday! 😃 I know his birthday because he shares it with my wife. She’s older than he is though. For her, we’re having dinner at the [Great American Rib Company](http://www.greatrib.com/) here in Bangkok. If President Obama were here, he would be invited. ---

Cool. I’ll have to remember this and stick it on FB. Make it all gushy and piss on my wingnut friends. ---

It’s on my calendar. No, seriously–it always lists the birthdays (and death days) of Presidents. Pepsi must be very patriotic. ---

Yes, President Obama is the first US president who’s younger than both the wife and me. I consider that a milestone. Dunno about the president, but the wife had a very good birthday. Got her presents, then we saw _The Dark Knight Rises_ in Imax, then Woody Allen’s _To Rome, with Love_ in 3D – no, wait, that wasn’t in 3D – then stuffed ourselves silly with ribs. There are several really good American rib joints in Thailand. You’d be surprised.
