(That's vi speak for "repeat last command." Of course, I might have just said "Happy Birthday Happy Birthday.")

Hmm. pnh yesterday, you today. I wonder how long this streak can continue. I'd need more friends, I think.

hey, yesterday was my SO browngirl's birthday.

you're familiar with the Birthday Paradox, right?

How many people do you need to get in a room before you have fifty-fifty odds that two of them have the same birthday? Only 23. (Assuming that birthdays are evenly distributed throughout the year, which they're not, in the real world.)

It's called "the Birthday Paradox" because that number seems to most people to be shockingly small.

Actually my birthday is Jan 2. Same as browngirl. I just keep posting to my journal about what happened "today" at some time after midnight. technically I should say "yesterday" but it doesn't feel like yesterday until I've slept.

Today, Jan 3, is my brother's birthday. Should I call him? Or not? Which one is less likely to upset him?

depends. how does he view birthdays? does he celebrate them, or is it "another year older, shorter of breath, and one day closer to death"?

My brother is difficult. It's not just birthdays. I tread carefully.

Happy Birthday!
