or, “Mundane Pointless Birthdays I Must Share.” Today: mine. I’m 33. That’s old. I plan to go out with a bunch of friends, and then return home and perform my typical birthday ritual of plucking gray hairs out of my chest. The “Must Share” part: I’d never met anyone in person who had the same birthday as I do. In the past week I’ve found out that two cow-orkers, not just at the same company but on the same team (team is about 100 people), have birthdays today. And one of them is the same day and the same year, _and_ we’re from the same state originally, our hometowns less than 50 miles from each other. Eerie. ---

Happy Birthday! Thirty-three is **not** old! Forty-four is old…which is what I will be next month. My daughter shares a birthday with you. She’s fourteen today. That’s not old either…hell, I have brassieres older than she is. Happy birthday, **SolGrundy**. Have a great day, even if you are feeling decrepit. 🙂 ---

BTW, that’s why you feel old you have a teenager loose in your house! 🆒 ---
