Thanks to Stereoguy, Nick, Adrian and CV for the birthday greetings!
While sitting in a clinic for some routine blood tests this morning, I learned from the local Toronto rag that I share this birth date with the great NBA star, Tim Duncan, actor Al Pacino (one year older than moi), and singer Ella Fitzgerald, who is no longer with us.

It gives one pause (paws?) to reach the 3/4-century mark. . .

Cheers,
Alan
