Happy Birthday, Skip! (as in imric)
Sorry it's late in the day. You happen to share my son's birthday, but he's a year younger. Anyway, my wife and I were vising him this weekend and came back home to a dead RoadRunner/cable that finally got fixed.
Did you actually make that trip to NJ?

In case you missed it..
...it snowed quite a bit here :)
Would have loved to...but think maybe I might want to come south after this.

I hadn't originally planned to leave here - but the machine that hosts my sister's website (and incidentally my mail) went belly up. I was 'forced' to go up and hang out with many of my friends, drink beer, and go out in the snow. Oh yeah. Then I fixed the server.
The horror! *grin*

Sorry Imric, I've been swamped with real life family stuff, didn't get a chance to wish you a happy birthday yesterday. :(
Sounds like you had a nice one!

Been there, done that
till my mom found out that I had been telling people I was older than I really was. For some reason she took exception to that.
Don't know how I did it, but for some reason I actually thought I was 2 years older than I am. This state of confusion lasted for a good 6 months before good old mom told me she didn't want people thinking *she* was older than she was.

I'm usually close.
Since if I'm out I'm out by 1, I just look at the odd/even of the current year to correct. With other relatives, I do a "round to 10" thing, since I remember people's birth years, and then correct offsets.

Ah, all the advantages of a 0 offset.
All except for 6 weeks or so, all I have to keep track off is the decades. On Jan 1, 1940, I was 0+, in 1950 I was 10+, in 1960 I was 20+, etc. 2005, I'm 65+.
