The link gives my conception date as 10/13-10/21/69. My mom told me I was a couple of weeks late. Yep, I sure was. ---

I was born one year, nine months and one day after my sister. You do the math. ---

Possibly on September 11th, back when it was just a nice, normal day. I was born 10 months after my older sister and 14 months before my younger sister. Mom & Dad sure wanted kids! ---

Sometime around the 1971/1972 holidays. (born mid-September 1972, 2-3 weeks early) ---

According to the site it was the week of June 15, 1977, and my parents might have been listening to Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” That is so laughable because I doubt my parents even knew the band. They weren’t exactly hip. ---

They weren’t exactly hip. Believe me, you didn’t have to be hip in 1977 to be aware of Fleetwood Mac. They were unavoidable. ---

If you knew my parents you’d understand. They were mostly into classical music and really didn’t listen to any popular music recorded post-1963. ---

Mid-January. My brother was four and a half months old at the time. ---

May 29- June 6, 1981. That’s roughly consistent with my parents’ anniversary date of May 21. ---

I was conceived when Elvis was still alive. I was born after he had died. ---

Early May of 1967. Given that they were then living in Cleveland, I’m guessing a bit of spring fever. ---

Early December, 1972. Probably 1-2 weeks before that site actually suggests, since I’ve always been told I was a week or two late (of course, EDDs being what they were in the early 70s, that could in wrong too).
