There are those among us who practice the happy ritual of having a birthday week, filled with special events and treats to celebrate their own birth.  In fact, I knew one woman who called the entire month in which she was born her bithday month, and from her description it's an expensive, extravagant month for her.  Being a simple person, I'm content with one day a year for my own birthday festivities, especially the ones that end in a zero.  Please e-mail me at:  pjones41@kc.rr.com.
