I was born at Alta Bates hospital in Berkeley, California.
My mother was the ripe old age of 26.
My father was the ripe old age of 28.
My parents were celebrating their 2 year wedding anniversary (what a great way to spend the day, eh?)
My brother was non-existent for another 2 years.
Oh, and in 1066 William the Conqueror invaded England.
Go figure.

Wow what a great year for music.
"Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite." Indeed.
I'd just finished listening to Afternoon Delight as I clicked here, what are the chances! (Ok, pretty good chance as it's a regular on the playlist). I agree, great year for music.
Happy Birthday Katie, welcome to the Thirtysomethings, you've love it! Hope the celebrations are off to a flying start.
