Happy Birthday To Sue!


I couldn't wait until tomorrow to wish my lovely wife a happy birthday. Most of you will probably read this post on the 26th anyway. I promised not to list her actual age in the blog. However, we will be married 38 years in June, I was 24 when we were married and she is two years younger than me. I can't help it if all of you are good at "story" problems.

I also want to take this opportunity to point out one of the mysteries surrounding Sue, Mike, Kris and myself. In the order from the previous sentence, our birthdays are 3/26, 8/27, 3/19 and 6/18. Every year, all four of our birthdays fall on the same day of the week. This year it's Wednesday. It has always been that way. Leap years never mess it up because all the dates are after February. Isn't that strange?

Our main plans for the celebration of Sue's birthday center around a late breakfast at Bob Evans and dinner at a place of Sue's choice. She is leaning toward Iguana Mia because you get a free meal on your birthday(and the food is delicious). Our friends, Leigh and Marie have offered to take Sue and I out for some birthday ice cream at a good place that they have discovered. That's enough excitement for one day.

I worked out the odds of a family of four having birthdays on the same day of the week each year, assuming all four birthdays are after February 29: 1 in 2,401. We should play the lottery.
