Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I went and checked and yep, only one of me whether I use my married name or my given name, although there's more than one of each of my sybs. Only one Franny and one Isaac too, and one DH. We are a family of singularities.

Oh no Shir, what a no good, terrible, very bad birthday! I'm sorry it was such a dud, but hey, at least you get another one in a couple weeks.

Shir, I think for this year you should pick a new birthday and try again. I'm sorry it went off so badly.

Sorry it wasn't a good birthday, Shir. I hope your celebration in a couple weeks goes much better.

Thanks guys, but really, I just wanna put all of this behind me. Let's just stop talking about it, OK?

I'm heading out to J-city soon, where I'll see a great concert. Another birthday will happen (thank you, Jewishness of mine for having another calender). Goodness to come.

There may be up to three of me.

How unlikely! Jesse and I were just talking about this (there are a lot sharing my name. Two common names? Yeah. One even was in middle school with me) and guessed there'd only be you!

Insane thunderstorm woke me up at 5 am. It was bad enough that Devi was freaking out. I curled up around her and she started purring, whether out of relief or abject terror, I don't know.

There are three people with my full name. 2K+ with my last name (less common than I would have thought, actually - I guess it doesn't translate to Miller after all).

Question: I just unearthed a check, probably 15 months old from my car insurance, issued by Bank of America. I presume I can still deposit it? It's only $30, so no big.

It might go through depending on the bank, but didn't they pass some sort of law in the last decade or so about this? Certain business used to print "not valid after 60/90 days" on the check itself, but now I think the same rule governs all checks. But then I think it is up to the bank to decide whether they will honor it or not.
