the birthday that qualifies me for my first Social Security check with no limitations on earnings(will check for the direct deposit later) - exactly 44 years and 2 days after surviving Viet Nam injuries(got a second surgery for my October 1 birthday).That means I have tripled my age of that day (22) and have seen so many Tiger victories that I almost didn't get to see. I hope everyone gets bonus days to watch the Tigers play.
