    I did this same thing about nine years ago. I simply wrote "anniversary" on the calendar and my wife spent the entire day trying to figure out what it was the anniversary of.

        So true. But so did all of the other intervening years. But I'm after what 1987 and 2013 share, that doesn't exist for all of the other years in between. :)

        Is it that 1987 + 2013 = 4000?

          On January 1st, we will begin the year 2013. Do you know what it has in common with 1987?

                  I realised at the weekend that I was born closer to the end of World War2 than to today. That is so scary, especially as growing up WW2 seemed such an age away.

                  I never even thought about that, but realized after reading your post that I'm in the same boat. My children made sure to remind me how old I was all day on Sunday when I became the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

                  I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                      I have been with my wife over half her life. She has lived with me more than she lived with her family. Finally, I own her. (Yeah right, truth is, She owns me, and I am happy to be hers).

                        That's been true for me since I was 11. Now, stop talking and finish your cereal, youngster...
