celebrating four family birthdays

 12 to 73 years old

at casey’s tavern

neighborhood favorite

 historic building

once a lumberyard

casual, relaxed, friendly

nothing fancy

eclectic menu

we were happy, loud, full, laughing

a win for the day and a win for the birthdays.

here we find ourselves in september again, along with lots of babies!

 september is by far the most popular month to be born. it isn’t even a close race. september has 9 out of 10 of the most popular birth dates, with september 9th being the most popular date of all. using my holiday math formula, it’s easy to find a clear correlation between the end of the old year through the ringing in of the new year, and the volume of early fall arrivals.

1 january new year’s eve party = 1 to 1,000,000 september babies
