Waitaminute... we got Valentines Day, President's Day Weekend (right after REAL Lincoln's Birthday), the Chinese/Lunar New Year, Fat Tuesday/Carnival/Mardi Gras (in New Orleans where they're not finished celebrating the Super Bowl yet), the Winter Olympics (if you're not a luger), the NBA All-Star Game (significance declining, but WAIT!) and PJERN'S BIRTHDAY all hitting us at once?!? EVENT OVERLOAD!! TOO MUCH CELEBRATING!!! Phil, could you please start lying about your age, just by a month, I got some celebratin' time open in mid-March, but not too close to St. Pat's Day, thanx... (hey, my b-day's midway 'tween Labor Day & Halloween where it stands out - except for all the other MeFites & MeChans within a few days - but my parents knew how to schedule!)
But seriously, pj, enjoy the day and tell yourself everybody else is celebrating your birthday...
