January 13
I share a birthday with...nobody.
Rip Taylor?
Julia Louis Dryfuss?
Orlando Bloom?
Charles Nelson Riley?
And people I've never heard of...
Richard Moll (the bailiff in Night Court)
Stephen Hendry (a snooker champion)
It could be the softest birthday list of the whole year, not one person I'd walk across the street to talk to.
It's the anniversary of the day that president Bush choked on a pretzel.
My son was born on January 8, so he shares a birthday with Stephen Hawking, David Bowie and....Elvis. (We told people we named him that for a little while. A couple of friends don't remember his real name and still call him Elvis.)
My daughter shares a birthday with Susan B. Anthony and Matt Groening.
My wife shares one with Ambrose Bierce, Jack Dempsey, Jeff Beck, and Juan Manuel Fangio
