Glad you both had a chance to celebrate! Sure wish we could hear from Maurice once more.

In mathematics, there's a certain calculation I've never really grasped, but the bottom line is that in a group of people as small as fourteen or fifteen, the chances are even that there will be a shared birthday (month and day). In a group of thirty or more, the probability is 98 to 99 percent. I guess we HTers fit the profile! Any more matches?
