Happy Birthday, Firecat! :::Purrrrr::::

Now, to share a bit of my own family's birthday traditons (which was started by my mother):

We celebrate our birthdays for an Octave, which means starting on the eve before the actual day, and continuing for a week after: eight days in all.

Since musical notes are traditionally grouped in octaves, I hereby humbly suggest that we make this a Mudcat tradition. Whaddya say?
