No wonder I like Wings and Quantum Leap so much (and, to a much, much lesser extent – Quick Change and Necessary Roughness). Not only is today the official birthday of Mr. Faded Glory, but it’s also the birthdays of Tony Shalhoub and the inimitable Scott Bakula. And here I thought sharing a birthday with John Lennon was impressive. And Charles Walgreen - no wonder I use that dreadful chain as my pharmacy. Not only that, John Entwistle and Jackson Browne also were born October 9, and I like The Who and Running on Empty. And down by the water, it’s also P.J. Harvey‘s birthday. Weird, I know. (The coincidence, not the singer. Well, actually, both.)
Finally, of course, the Baltimore Orioles’ Brian Roberts is exactly the same age as me. Perhaps even to the minute. I don’t think I need to illustrate the implications here – it’s now imperative the Cubs trade for Roberts, my exact double. Instant karma’s gonna get you, indeed.
