My Birthday

Being a big geek ... and a bigger reader, I remember how thrilled I was to learn that I shared a birthday with Louisa May Alcott. This revelation likely prompted a phase when I refused to use electricity and chose to read by the light of an oil lamp. But I digress.


Apparently, I was born on a Saturday. (My mother probably remembers it much better than I do.)
