And More Importantly...

At 10am, forty two years ago, as the bells for Mass were tolling in the distance, I was born. Weighing in at eight and a half pounds, I was my mother's heaviest baby, the fifth in a brood of seven. Apparently I was born in about 20 minutes. Prompt and considerate from an early age - Jane Hannan had arrived. Since that moment I have pretty much been late for everything and almost guaranteed to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. So I started off enthusiastic but lost momentum quickly.

Aha! This explains so much! (NaNo is goin' slow!)

Anyhoo Happy Birthday to me.
