Today!

It being after midnight Pacific time, today is my birthday. December 31st.

Well, I wasn't born today. And as they say, I wasn't born yesterday.

It was 1955, the year Albert Einstein died. And I sooooo want to believe in reincarnation!

March 16, 1961. Less than two months after JFK was inaugurated.

I share a birthday with Jerry Lewis, Henny Youngman, Pat Nixon, Erik Estrada and Josef Mengele.

I was born on the same day as Todd MacFarlane, creator of "Spawn." lol

Thanksgiving Day November 24, 1960. Please no turkey jokes, or I'll have to proclaim how everyone was thankful I was born!:p

Of course, my birthday falls on Thanksgiving every 7 years.
