Some facts you may or may not care about during the day I was born:

  • I was born during a terrible blizzard with record low temperatures.
  • The day was inauguration day for the 38th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter.
  • The day is a cusp day between Capricorn and Aquarius.
  • I share the day of birth with director David Lynch, Slipknot member Sid Wilson, actor Skeet Ulrich, and comedian Bill Maher just to name a few.
  • I was born the year punk exploded.  I am ok with that.
