189. On the Anniversary of Certain Nativities

Later on today, around 12:00 noon, or technically around 1:00 pm, since 47 years ago Louisville observed Central Time, I will enter into the 48th year of my current presence here on Terra Firma, having completed 47 of the same and, therefore, consequently celebrating a 47th birthday. Today also marks the 57th birthday of my friend Sharon Holbert, and the 35th birthday of my friend Arlandria Spalding. Four days ago, my friend Tim Allgeier was also 47. Three days from now is my friend Terry Risinger's 37th birthday. He is spending the weekend working on my truck which went missing a few gears from its transmission in the last few days. Another friend and favorite, Will Carle, political fundraiser extraordinairre currently in the employ of Jack Conway's campaign for Attorney General, is celebrating his 27th birthday, also in three days. Yet another friend, MaDonna White will be celebrating as well - celebrating a few - but not very many more - years than the rest of us.

Happy Birthday, one and all.

As an aside, but important in the Earth's and Moon's relentless pace around the Solar System, this morning around 5:13 am Eastern Time, a Cardinal Point in that relentless pacing occurred, as we passed the Autumnal Equinox, denoting the point of days and nights of even time, hence an equinox. Starting today and running through the Winter Solstice in December, days will shorten and nights will lengthen. O to be in Louisville now that it is Autumn.
