Happy Birthday to John

Today is John's birthday! We celebrated by going to lunch and a movie (our usual date format these days).

Just to mix things up I also let John buy some electronics. Don't worry, nothing too pricey.

The significance of John's birthday:

I'm not a hard core believer in astrology, but I did like hanging out in the astrology section of the book store when I was a teenager. I am a Cancer, and the books say that the best match for a Cancer is a Pisces. By coincidence (not by my own doing) the only people I have dated have been Pisces. I'm using the word "dated" liberally here, because officially I've only dated one other person besides John. But if I include my junior prom date (who did go with me to the prom as a date) it makes the statistic a little more compelling. Anyway, after the first two Pisces relationships ended I wondered if astrology had let me down. Perhaps a Pisces wasn't for me. Then came John. Another Pisces. What was I to think? Well, I'll tell you what I think. I think the fact that he is on the cusp of Aquarius balances him out. Sort of takes the edge off the less desirable Piscean qualities. (No offense meant to other Pisces. Every sign has good and bad qualities.) So it is very important that John's birthday is on February 25th.
