It is my birthday too!.
Growing up in a family where birthdays were never celebrated, whatever little enthusiasm I had in college quickly disappeared when I learn't that I shared my birthday with Reagan.
I did not know that the Babe was born many many years earlier on the same day. Now I can tell friends that I share my birthday with a genius, and not the evil kind.

My mom was also born the same day as Jidge and Dutch.

(It was this post that reminded me to wish her HB--thanks, Allan! I'm such an ass.....)
