When he was 6 months old, I got atattooon my forearm to commemorate our shared occasion.
I explained that it represented me and my son, because we have the same birthday.

My son is 12 now, and remembering this still blows my mind.
We think of you every year, birthday buddies!"

Decided to visit the giant Amoeba Records on Hollywood Blvd.

It was a stunning coincidence and so funny!”
I picked my own ticket.
People were pissed, they thought it was fixed, but it was totally legit."
It was somehow my fault, but no one was mad at me.

Anyway, turns out my grandma had a serious medical event and had been inches from death.
Thankfully, she recovered and went on to live another couple decades.

He took a direct route into my ear.”
“I went to campus security which was next door.
They thought I was tripping.
