One of the things that always amazed me was that in any random group of more than a dozen people, the odds of at least two people sharing a birthday were so good it didn’t merit making book — it was almost a dead cert.
But on this 7th day of December, it still amazes that I have three people in my immediate circle of family / close friends who share a birthday today: Longtime Friend Trevor, step-daughter-in-law Kerryn and step-nephew Mark — all South Africans, by the way.
And only one of them turned 21:

I said he was one of my oldest friends…
Happy birthday to all of you !!!!

My youngest brother was born on December 7th. He’s 59 today.
