   Happy birthday, Kyle. You’re in fine company.

   KG replies: Yes, Marlo Thomas is my inspiration. Congrats on being the first to figure it out.

   Happy day, sir!

   Thanks. I didn’t really mean to elicit greetings as much as to muse on the curious quasi-affinity of random folks one shares a birthday with. Whenever I see an item about Goldie Hawn, I imagine having some special insight into her, more than I would with, say, Winona Ryder. Which is silly – or maybe not?

   I feel the same strange affinity, which is really weird since it is Whoopi Goldberg.

   Happy birthday.

   Happy birthday! Have a scotch and write some music.

   I share a birthday with Poulenc, Charles Addams, and Roland Topor, which is fine with me. I envy you Voltaire, though; damn.

   Happy Birthday! The “have a scotch and write some music” sounds good. The Magritte connection seems really right somehow. Great to realize you’re so young. Thanks again for keeping up the blog – always a thought provoking delight.

   Happy birthday ! I wouldn’t have thought of it otherwise, but the Schleiermacher connection might have something to it: “During a revolution, nothing but details can ever be separated out; and even these can hardly be discussed otherwise than in the form of controversy.”

   KG replies: I like it. And I love the random lists of names. Someone should write a piece….

   Happy Kyle Day! (My fellow birthers include Martha Graham, Irving Berlin, Salvador Dalí, and Eric Burdon. Kinda fun.)

   Happy Birthday, Kyle. Mine is shared by Shakespeare (possibly,) Prokofiev (also possibly,) James Buchanan, and Shirley Temple.

    And Schleiermacher was Mendelssohn’s favourite theologian, so there’s a musical connection there as well.
