Happy Belated Birthday Brian!

Once again, I am late in posting birthday wishes to my laconic, erudite, guitar playing friend Brian. (My sister gave me a perpetual calendar to keep track of birthdays; a great idea! But it only works if you remember to actually look at it... go figure.) But I finally figured out the problem in my slightly warped brain:

I'm bad with birthdays to start with and only really remember those of my immediate family. Even then, I tend to remember astrological signs before I remember the actual birthdates. (I blame my mother for that particular oddity.) So my sister's a Capricorn, my mother's Aquarius and my dad is Gemini.

For some reason, I can remember that Brian is an Aquarius but that equates to February in my mind because that's when my mother's birthday is. The result, unfortunately, is that I never remember Brian's birthday until I start thinking about my mother's birthday. So Brian, I'm going to try to embed into my brain that you are Aquarius on the cusp of Capricorn and maybe I'll remember in time next year!

But for now, I just hope you had as much fun on your birthday as these crazy sharks seem to be having!
