High Mileage, And Out Of Warranty

April 13, 2017 – 12:46 pm

I’m sixty-one today. That’s getting on a bit, but fortunately I have the body of a twenty-five-year-old. (It’s in the trunk of my car, if you’d like to have a look.)

As always, we extend natal salutations to: Guy Fawkes, Thomas Jefferson, F.W. Woolworth, James Ensor, Butch Cassidy, Sir Arthur “Bomber’ Harris, Robert Watson-Watt, Samuel Beckett, Harold Stassen, Stanislaw Ulam, Eudora Welty, Howard Keel, Madalyn Murray O’Hair, Ken Nordine, Don Adams, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Seamus Heaney, Paul Sorvino, Jack Casady, Tony Dow, Lowell George, Al Green, Ron Perlman, Christopher Hitchens, Max Weinberg, and Garry Kasparov.

    You’re in (mostly) distinguished company. Unfortunately I share my birthday with Richard Nixon and Joan (shut up and sing) Baez.

    Happy Birthday! I share my date with the late Pope John Paul II and singer George Straight. Maybe more. That’s quite a bit of pressure all ready.

    Happy Birthday. I don’t know who I share my birthday with. I guess I am selfish.

    Is there a corresponding mind in the glove compartment?

    Many happy returns!

    Happy birthday Mr. Pollack. Sorry I don’t comment more, but I read your threads regularly and enjoy them. You should treat yourself to a good book; one I’ve enjoyed recently is Reformations by Carlos Eire, about the various Protestant and Catholic Reformations (often historians now use the plural rather than the singular to refer to that epoch).

    Still, Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday! May God bless you in the coming year!

    April is one of our family’s “major birthday months”…. April produces good people. :-)
