I have a friend whose birthday is Pearl Harbor day--not usually a big deal for us GenXers, but like in 1991 it was annoying (in 2016 I think we were too focused on other things to think about the 75th anniversary). On the plus side (for me), I'll never forget that birthday.

One of my closest friends has gotten dumped on his birthday (he likes to recount the birthday card text he received: "Happy Birthday. I don't love you."), but that wasn't associated with the date or anything.

The only notable recent event to happen on my birthday was Trump getting COVID, and boy howdy that specter of "he won't, but maybe?" brightened the whole weekend
