Yeah, I know it's late. Whatever.

Thanksgiving coincided this year with my Golden Birthday (22 on the 22nd). The next time my birthday will coincide with Thanksgiving will be in 2012, when I will be 27, and then the time after that will be in 2018, when, on 11-22, I'll be 33. One of the little things that makes me happy I live in a country that does dates backwards.

My grandfather knew a guy in WWII who was absolutely livid when he realized that, in Europe, his DOB was no longer 12/3/45, but rather, 3/12/45. The weird things we pick to be vain over.

QOTD: I had an early Thanksgiving dinner with my mom's side of the family. Then I had a late Thanksgiving dinner with my dad. Slept at least fourteen hours out of twenty-four. Wonderful stuff.

Did he have a time machine or something?

For some, the war is not over.

Funny how I never questioned that math.

Maybe I'm misremembering the story and he was upset that they got his birthday wrong for the one time it was EVER going to fall on 12/3/45. Or something.

That'll teach you to post to the Daily Roll Call.
