Huckleberries Online

Afternoon Question (4/1/05)

Issue: With 365 days possible, Marianne Love/Slight Detour is amazed how family birthdays tend to clump together over a couple of weeks or a month. She has three such clusters in her family, including one now under way here.

DFO: We have a major cluster in January, including 6 or 7 birthdays that begin on the 16th with Amy Dearest and my twin brothers-in-law. So, mebbe Marianne has something here. BTW, for those of you keeping score at home, Mayor Sandi Bloem and I share a Nov. 20 birthday.

Question: Does your family have "birthday clusters"?
