People I share a birthday with
Today, I learned that I share a birthday with pitcher Justin Verlander. I'm 6 years older, and he has roughly 88000% more pitching talent than I do.
I also share a birthday with Chelsea Peretti. I learned this today, as well.
I also remembered that I shared a birthday with Kurt Cobain. When he died, I remember that being the biggest thing I took away from his death, that we shared a birthday. And every year, I tend to have a "Huh, I shared a birthday with him" moment.
And then I forget.
Other folks I share February 20th with, in celebrating trips around the sun? Sidney Poitier. Lauren Ambrose. Rihanna. Charles Barkley. Lili Taylor. Ron Eldard. Cindy Crawford. The late Robert Altman.
I will probably forget them too.
Such is life. I'm getting older. The memory is always the first thing to go.
If I had to guess, I think mine left somewhere around 2009.
