Dick Clark still looks fabulous – but it did take him a few to just say “HappyNew Year’s folks”

Kathy Griffin still won the New Year’s battle of “Dick vs dick”

oh please, as a July baby I got to say that, it ain’t all that much glory. First of all my astrological sign is ‘cancer’. Isn’t that swell. I missed leo by one goddman day, and believe me I have always been ‘cancer-on the cusp of leo’. Numero two-oh, no great parties of course, you haven’t seen most of your friends since june and it was my family , my friend andy and David fukuto. and we all know how he turned out.

Heard the “How Long Will it Take To Drive A Couple Hours?” radio spot in San Diego this morning. *giggle*

Ah, the horror of holiday-time birthdays. I was born on Jan. 2, about 1am. This is only important because, as the fifth child, my mother was rather cavalier in her attitude and insisted on finishing a bridge game – after her contractions had started – before leaving for the hospital. Save for that delay, I would have been a New Year’s Day baby, a far better birthday.
Anyhoo, as a child Jan. 2 was the day we went back to school, so my ice-cream cake fueled party had to held on a different day. On one particular birthday our dalmatian had just gone into heat and my mother had made sure to put her outside onto the back deck and keep our golden retriever inside. However, my father, bothered by the retriever’s constant sex-based whining let him out, leading to the inevtiable coupling on the deck, in full view, through the giant kitchen window, of myself and a dozen or so other eight-year-olds. When asked by mother “what the hell was he thinking?!” my father replied (seriously absolutely true) that he “didn’t think they would do anything in front of the kids.” Suffice to say that while my classmates looked forward to my annual party, their parents were less than excited about the prospect in the future. But I digress.
Also, cheap relatives take advantage of the date and gave (and still give) birthday/x-mas “combination presents.”.
As a more grown-up person, everyone, including me, is far too hungover and/or embarassed by New Year’s Eve to go out and play. (A New Year’s Day birth would have obviated this issue.) It’s also, usually, the day people go back to work.
Oh to be a July birthday person – pool parties, decent gifts, and no dogs in heat.
I feel your pain, April.

Dear April (pardon the lateness of this):

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
You make us all laugh,
and I’m 15 months older than you!

If I can deal with it, so can you Girl.
