Why thank you everyone. My birthday was actually on October 1st, but I do have another on October 10th. It is a long story that involves a type-written birth certificate on a military base in Germany that crammed the one and the month together to read 1Oct, which for some reason reads like 10 Oct to every clerk in the US, not Oct. 1. Anyway, my now 'legal' birthday is 10 Oct. I gave up fighting about 15 years ago
It was easier to just have a new b-day. But hey, that means I get to celebrate twice... twice the pearls!
