There are only so many people on the planet whose birthdays I remember the correct dates, including my parents, brother, Laura(from Satellite beach), Jessica C.(whose date I always used to get mixed up with Amber S.'s), a girl friend from middle school in Bushnell, my kids (no forgetting something etched on the memory by birthing!), my in-laws.
