All these belated stories I’m trying to dig out over, namely the stuff I let slide while celebrating my own birthday. Yeah, I’m rather selfish after 45 years aren’t I?
Kate gets a special mention due to her birthday being right after mine! Ten years ago we made it extra cool by betting on 13 for Kate right before we went to dinner on my birthday night. She won! The five bucks became $175 instantly! What made it even better was how her luck carried over to us, giving me a two-peat in roulette I’ve never duplicated. Anyone who is keeping score, the odds of back-to-back victories on one number is 1369:2 against.
I loved the nickname she gave herself too, Hurrikate.
We’ll be getting together for a Leo dinner soon and I have a little gift she’ll laugh at.
