I can remember a few birthday parties that are worth mentioning, like the one when I was 9, a pizza party (I had a lot of those) and we left my friend Paula at the pizza parlor. Or my 21st at UC Davis when we were loud enough to get a visit from the cops. Ten years ago I got in contact again with my childhood <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\">friend<\/a>, Pam, whose art was hanging in the bakery where I was getting a birthday cupcake. I recognized the name and looked her up on the net and we reconnected. Her band the <a href=\"http:\/\/seattlecastaways.com\">Castaways <\/a> is playing at my party on Saturday. I think that&#8217;s worthy of making a list of good stuff that happened on June 12. But I think it&#8217;s the bad things that hold our focus. I&#8217;ll have to start keeping my own list over the second half of my life.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you have any great June 12 memories?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1381, 1418, 1429, 1550, 1653: a bunch of various battles in Europe.
