I have an older brother named Bobby whose birthday is the day before mine. His is the 22nd, mine the 23rd.
A few years ago, my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I wanted a cake with my name on it. She looked surprized and said, "Why in the world do you want a cake with your name on it?" I said, "Well, when I was a kid, my birthday party was always left over cake and ice cream from my brothers birthday. Re-frozen ice cream and a half a cake. I wanted a cake - a whole cake- that said "Happy Birthday Ricky", not "Hap... Birth... Bob...". Well I got my cake - and ice cream to boot. Best birthday present ever!
Why am I writing this? Oh, I don't know, just remembering... and sharing with my friends.
