A Bunch of Birthdays

It's funny how some of my favorite celebrities are born around my birthday (the 17th). In fact, Alan Jackson, one of my all-time favorite country singers, shares my birthday. Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote (TV Series) and many, many movies and Broadway shows was born on Oct. 16. *We celebrated by watching an episode of Murder She Wrote (on DVD) tonight after Ghost Whisperer.


Coincidentally, we have a lot of friends born within a week of mine (Rob's). Tom's late partner Ed was born Oct. 15th (so it's no surprise Tom and I are together); Cynthia in MD on 10/9; Ryun in IN and Yesenia in MD on 10/10; Leah in NY, 10/12; Matt in FL, 10/13; John in VA and Jeffrey in NJ on 10/15; Sandra in AL on 10/17 w/me; Donna in NY, Brad in GA on 10/22; Terry in MD on 10/23; and Matt in MA and Jim in OH on 10/24. That's 11 friends in 14 days. Coincidence? Nope. Happy Birthday to our friends! Think about it- how many friends of yours are born around your birthday?
