OK, I am the kind who argues if you really love someone you will at least wish him/her on his/her birthday. But then lately I am the one who forgets. Out of a blue I will call Sunita who is in Los Angeles wishing her Happy Birthday only to be told it was last month. Or I will call to wish Sarah in Chennai and she will say it is next month. My quick response would be: "You changed it this year?!" The worst is I would have called Sunita in the wee hours of her morning and Sarah in the middle of her night not realizing these poor people are actually in different time zones!! (If they are still friends with me, that is truly by grace)
I know it sounds funny but to me it is not at all funny. I really truly sincerely feel bad about missing birthdays.
Now for sure I know it was Rammiya's and Sangeeta's birthday on Sep 5th and Sunita's and Lovet's I guess are both Sep 16th. I really want to wish them. But I don't want to call today and be told it was last month or next month - or worst yet - not really the 5th or the 16th but a totally new number that I don't recall...
Oh! that reminds me today is Rachel's birthday. Good thing I remembered in the last minute to pack some hurried gifts. She is happy! So am I! Phew...

Best wishes to your daughter. I don't try to remember except those of children.
Ha ha... okay Doc, I will try it next time I need it. They are already tired of my pretending-ly funny, "You changed it?!" remark.

Indeed it is @A and today it is gorgeous out here in NEW JERSEY. The sun is finally out of its hiding place.
Rachel is having her friends come over. They just had pizza, ice cream and now watching a movie with pop corn as we "speak"
I am glad we planned it at home, she is very happy to hang around with her friends.
What's cooking at your end other than the post on Mahatma?
Have a great weekend!
