Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday, dear Paul,
Happy Birthday to me.
Ah, the 21st of December. Next to the 25th of December, its my favorite. Not only is it my birthday, but it also has a few other distinctions:
1. Its the first day of winter.
2. Its the shortest day of the year.
3. Its a palindrome, such as racecar, mom, malayalam, and saippuakivikauppias (Finnish for soap-stone vendor, no lie).
4. Its also the birthday of Thomas Becket (1118), Stalin (1879), and Ray Romano (1957).
5. William Bradford aboard the Mayflower first landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620.
6. The first cross-word was published on this date in 1913 in the New York World.
7. The crew of Apollo 8 become the first humans to leave the Earth’s gravity in 1968.
What’s your favorite day of the year?
Happy Birthday dude! The Bengals won for you today
Happy Birthday Paul!
We’ll have to celebrate for real when you get back in the states, but until then…have some cauliflower.
I’m partial to July 15th. I share my birthday with Brian Austin Green (90210) and Rembrandt.
