I might be the last person on earth to do so, but I just discovered those day of the year pages on Wikipedia. They list events, births and deaths on that particular date throughout the years. It’s a good place to go and see what happened on yours, your spouses or childrens’ birthdates. Just for fun.
Among the wealth of trivia that I’ve learned is that I share a birth date (and year) with rapper Fat Joe (whom I’ve never heard of) and Gary was born on the same day as American bull-rider Tuff Hedeman (never heard of him either). I checked Remy’s birth date too, but there isn’t anyone famous at just 4 1/2 months old. It is the day that the federal government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and I went into labor when Tropical Storm Hannah passed by early September 6th. Less than auspicious start, maybe? Welcome to an insane world my dear child.

Now I know. I like that song, as it turns out.
