Zebra Birthday

December 14, 2006 |

Today is my birthday. My local association of REALTORS sent me an email wishing me a happy birthday containing links to interesting facts about my birthday. To be quite honest, most of it was underwhelming. Apparently, nothing of note happened on December 14, 1980 (with the exception of my birthday). I did, however, find out some interesting things about December 14th in history:

Nostradamus was born on December 14, 1503.

George Washington died on December 14, 1799.

Patty Duke was born on December 14, 1946.

Baseball player Bill Buckner was born on December 14, 1949. I find this interesting since I am a big New York Mets fan, and it was Bill Buckner’s error on Game 6 of the 1986 World Series that helped the Mets win the Series that year.

Baseball player Craig Biggio was born on December 14, 1965. I thought this was interesting because his mother was actually one of my teachers in elementary school.

Later this evening, I will be celebrating my birthday by officiating a High School Girls’ Varsity basketball game. Luckily, I was able to celebrate with my wife yesterday over a very fine dinner. She also gave me a gift– Zebra pattern cuff links. They are mother-of-pearl and onyx set in silver. They are sharp all by themselves, but I look pretty sharp wearing them today, if I do say so myself. That is just one of the many reasons that I love my wife, she supports and indulges my craziness, in real estate, blogging, officiating, and life.
