Young Again!

What day is it today?  Funny you should ask, because it so happens that in Ethiopia it's December 19, 2002!  Which would make me 27 again!!  As if I needed another reason to travel to Ethiopia!  (You can stop doing the math in your head, I'm 35.)

Ethiopians follow the Coptic calendar (which is also still used in Egypt) and as a result are about 7 years 8 months behind our Gregorian calendar.  The Coptic calendar has 12 months that are 30 days long and a "13th month" for the extra 5-6 days.  Makes things interesting when conducting business there...and when trying to figure out birthdays for those born during the 13th month!

In other news, we're now at #50!  Chugging right along!!
