I usually mention about this time every year that August 13 is kind of a special day around here. It\u2019s the day that Claire and myself went on our first official date and it\u2019s also my dad\u2019s birthday.
I suppose that I should mention that it\u2019s also International Left-Handers Day, but somehow that pales in significance compared to the other reasons to celebrate today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mine and my dad\u2019s birthdays alway fall on the same day of the week \u2014 this year, that\u2019s a Sunday. It\u2019s the 33rd Sunday of this year \u2014 and \u2014 there are only 140 days left in 2023.\u00a0
In 1971, the year of our first date, August 13th was a Friday \u2014 turns out that was a good omen.
My dad was born in 1908, so today would be his 115th birthday.
And 52 years ago today, we went to see Blood, Sweat and Tears.
So August 13 remains special around here.
