Happy 40th Conception to me!
It was 40 years ago today that my parents were vacationing on a lake house boat somewhere in Ontario, Canada. Some wine, Barry White, motion of the house boat and voila!…I was conceived! I am not a fan of my birthday at all and I really don’t like birthday parties. However, I was hoping that maybe my wife made me a cake and “surprised” me at the 4th of July lake party we are going to today. Nothing fancy…maybe just something that looks like a female egg getting penetrated by a sperm with little house boat flying a Canadian flag. Perhaps it would read “Happy 40th conception Patrick!”
So no, techinically it is not my 40th birthday today. I do like telling people “I was made in Canada!” If they ask how I just tell ‘em the story above. Really weirds some out a lot.
Oh yeah…Happy 4th of July to the U.S.A. 233rd American Birthday!
