Happy 15th Birthday Dad

Last week I had the pleasure of flying down to LA to help my dad celebrate his 15th Birthday. 15th...you're joking right? No I'm not. My dad is one of the select few individuals to be born on February 29th. He joins the ranks of Dinah Shore, Anthony Robbins, Antonio Sabato Jr, and JaRule. Ya....there aren't exactly a lot of cool people born on Feb 29th, but it is the rarest birthday.

Since the actual Solar Year is 365.24219 days long, every 4 years we get an extra day in February. This ensures that our calendars don't get out of whack, so winter won't start happening in the summer months. etc. My dad is actually 60 years old but he only celebrated his 15th birthday (60/4 = 15). Kind of a bum deal if you ask me. Growing up we'd usually celebrate on either Feb 28th or March 1st, whichever was closer to a weekend.

So since he actually had a birthday when he turned 60 it was a means for a party. We celebrated with tons of friends, family and food. The night finished off with an obligatory roasting of good 'ol dad by yours truly and my brother. I put together a little slideshow of him growing up and set it to some of his favorite music in iPhoto. Yet another reason to buy a Mac.

Here's the show.  There's a lot of classics in here.
Enjoy.
