Happy 75th...

...to my Father-in-Law who lives with us. He took off this morning to go to the funeral of a friend's sister [doesn't sound like much fun to me, but I guess he felt like he needed to be there] but I'm sure he and my Mother-in-Law [she lives elsewhere...their relationship could be the basis for an entire career in psych research.]will make their way to at least one casino before the day is out. He's "pre-gaming" for a extended gambling trip this weekend [we got their win/loss statements for their taxes, and they are truly something to behold. And of course, they each immediately started fighting about how much the other gambled.]
I doubt we'll see him until sometime tonight.

I just wrote a paragraph about him that I decided to delete. I don’t want to share too much about people other than myself. I will just say that it I have crazy in-laws, and that it is difficult at times. Sometimes it is a funny kind of crazy, sometimes it’s just irritating crazy, and sometimes it is sad/scary crazy.

But hey, enough of all that, and let me wish the poor guy a happy 75th birthday.

It is also my own dad's birthday today, 61 years old! It's odd that they both have March 18 as a birthday, although I heard that mathematically, the odds are very good that you can find two people with the same birthday even in what would seem like a fairly small population, so I guess that is it. One of my professors would try it with his class every year [about 20-30 people] and always be able to find at least two people who shared a birthday. No idea what my dad might be up to, I live halfway across the country. He still works, so he is probably doing that, or maybe grilling something.

I'm studying governmental accounting stuff. I figure one thing I will have to sell them on is that I can do auditing even though I have never done it professionally.
