Well, speaking for my son David, he would have loved that when he was 
younger (the support group).  His birthday is July 28.  But now that 
he's a 'teenager' (13), he's actually glad that he won't get the 
attention in school.  Although he's thrilled that he shares Harry's 
birthday week!! (although, he's too 'old' to admit it to anyone but 
me and his dad).

And my daughter, who's birthday is in April, is actually jealous of 
my July boy:  See, we have April as our big birthday month, with my 
husband, his father (who unfortunately, had his last one this year at 
age 70), his sister, her husband, my daughter, and my other son.
My daughter has always had to celebrate her birthday in this plethera 
(love that word) of birthday-ness (?not a word).  And, David, has 
always been able to have a nice party-cookout outside,in the warm 
July air, with water toys and the like. 

 Ahh well, I guess the grass is always greener. . .

diamonds and a ruby :) well, I can dream can't I?)
