Today is my youngest brother's back-up birthday. What is a back-up birthday, you ask? A back-up birthday is the day you celebrate a person's birthday in the event that you forgot the original birthdate. Jeff or "Buffa" is the only person in our family with a back-up birthday and here's why:
It seems that my dear mother--having already given birth to 4 children--was a bit loopy in the head by the time her fifth, Jeff, came along and got his birthdate wrong. :-( For 18 years we celebrated his birthday on March 10th when he was actually born on February 16th.
If it wasn't so dang funny, it would be down-right pathetic. Fortunately for us, he has a great sense of humor about it.
So here's to you, Buffa! I hope you have a wonderful day. Again. Just in case we forgot to say it the first time around. ;-)
And for any of you in the Dallas area, you can go have lunch on him here. Just make sure to ask for Chef Jeff and tell him "Weezie" sent ya! ;-)
