Ha!

Actually, all he has to do to be sure of lavish birthday goodies is to
stay *employed* so the check doesn't bounce!  :-D

Man, those birthday/holiday/anniversary crunches are killers, huh?

Actually, I'm in one right now.  I have birthdays for my sister, my
brother, husband and daughter, as well as my own anniversary in a span
of <counts on fingers> 29 days.  I think there are some in-law
birthdays in there too, but who can keep *those* straight!

Cindy -- who had a summer birthday, who is forever bitter that she
never *once* got a party in the classroom to celebrate it like the
winter birthday kids, and who thinks the summer birthday people should
form a support group as soon as someone thinks up a good name for us
