Birthdays

I've always been (proportionately) jealous of my cousin, Jennifer, who was born one day before me, on July 16th. July 16th is the anniversary of all kinds of interesting things. Some are fun, like the opening of Disneyland; some are of historical note, like the first test of the atomic bomb. Well, finally, an anniversary of note that occurs on July 17. Camilla Parker Bowles was born on July 17th, 1947.
The other mollifying recognition of 7/17 is that the default date for the iCal icon is my birthday.
