Welcome to the pond

It may be nearly dinner time where I am, but it's never too late for Sunday Brunch:

Birthdays
"A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age." -Robert Frost

1) What is your birthday, what time were you born, what astrological sign are you, and what city and state were you born in?

I was born April 23, 1980. I think I was born in the 11 AM hour. I'm a Taurus, and yes I can be a bit bullheaded at times. I was born in Eugene, Oregon, which is the same place I still reside.

2) Are there any famous events or famous people that share your special day?

Well, I know William Shakespeare was born and died on April 23rd. I think I also read that Michael Moore *gag!* was born that day as well. I know there's other famous folk who were born that day, but none famous enough for me to really remember. Oh, our dog was also born on my birthday! Yes, that's right, our DOG! She's two years old now.

3) What did you do to celebrate your last birthday?

We went to eat at a barbeque/steak restaurant. I had a very filling and delicious meal.

4) What is your best birthday celebration that you can remember?

I still remember the time when a big group of my friends and I had a very fun birthday party for me. We ate pizza, and then went to a local hockey game where we got free pucks and I had my birthday announced over the PA system. We had such a blast that night, and I'll never forget it.

5) What is the best birthday present you have ever received?

I can't really remember too many of my birthday gifts, but in the past few years I'd say the best gift I received was my DVD player. Yes, I specifically asked for it. My parents selected a really excellent player and it's given me some great joy.
