Because I was terribly sick on my birthday this Tuesday, (yay old man status FTW), I was unable to post anything related to my birthday.
However, I did want to include this last photo of me taken when I was a 27-year-old. Le sigh.
At any rate, here is a list of people who share my birthday, January 17, and my connection to them:
- Benjamin Franklin, 1706: I use electricity daily!
- Al Capone, 1899: I visited his Alcatraz jail cell last month!
- Betty White, 1922: We are both lude crude divas.
- Tom Dooley, 1927: My mother always sings that “Hang down your head Tom Dooley” song and it’s an inside joke in my family.
- Eartha Kitt, 1927: She was a close friend of James Dean. Enough said.
- Vidal Sassoon, 1928: HAIR, people.
- James Earl Jones, 1931: SIMBA, I AM YOUR FATHER.

- Jim Carrey, 1962: The Mask was and is still one of my favourites.
- Michelle Obama, 1964: She’s my boo!

Anyway, here’s to a new year, etc.
