There are only seven or eight days like this. The day of the stuttering digits. Was there anything special about 1974, 1985 or 1996? I certainly did not have a photo of Sid Smith, Leafs Captain for the 1955-56 season. Now I do.
I had no idea Eric James McCormack, the guy from Will and Grace was born on the same day as me and within mere miles. Our lives otherwise have led a parallel path.

Ommegang delivery expresses a wonderful sentiment.

I remember my grade 11 math teacher reminding us that September 9, 1981 was a "Perfect Square Day".
Anyway, that's nothing compared to a Double Digit Birthday day! Have a great birthday!
I'm surprised Eric doesn't pop by here every now and again.

It's Alan's birthday
Young at heart, mind and physique
He likes his beer and his blogs
