Perhaps I should explain.
I made a very exciting discovery last night, thanks to CNN.com. A certain Mr. Joe Biden turned 66 years old today. That’s right, he shares a birthday with me! Or maybe it’s the other way around, seeing as he’s (exactly!) 50 years older and about to become the 2nd most important person in the country.
Another weird tidbit – my aunt, my great-grandmother, my great-uncle, his mother/grandmother (don’t remember) and me all share the same birthday! What’s even weirder is that all of these people are on my mother’s side of the family. Maybe there’s some mysterious gene that got passed down over generations. Or, more likely, mid-November birthdays are especially common. Count backwards 9 months (keeping in mind that I was born a few days late) and you’ll see why…
