Happy
Birthday
Alex!
January 17, 1985 was the happiest day of my life. I made up my mind in 8th grade that if I ever had a baby boy, he would be named Alexander (after Alexander the Great). As it happened, every second boy born that year seemed to be named Alexander...so in an effort to distinguish our Alexander from all the others, we decided to call him "Alek" for short (because the was "Alexander" is spelled in Poland is ALEKSANDR.
In any event, we were in a state of bliss with our baby boy. He was born a little before 8 pm (we think it was 7:47 - 7:49, depending on if youj believe the hospital clock or our own watches.) Alex has his Caprcorn in his fifth house, his moon in Sagittarius, and Virgo rising,
Next day January 18 was the coldest day of the year...it was more than 20 degrees below zero, blindingly bright and clear with the white snow and ice that covered everything. He was born at Evanston Hospital, and Ray had a hard time starting his car to come and see us.
On some years Alex gets an earthquake for his birthday. Wonder what will happen today?
Hope it is the beginning of a perfect year for him
