I sincerely hope that isn't true.
Off the top of my head, I can think of three songs that have to do with being 23. Interestingly enough, not one of them is a happy song. But I'm hoping that age 23 is a happy age for me.
23 Years ago today:
*A wooden fishing boat carrying some 150 people seeking illegal entry to Puerto Rico sinks in shark-infested waters near Nagua, Dom. Rep., after its two outboard motors apparently explode; as many as 100 passengers are feared drowned or consumed by sharks. (source: The Britannica Archive)
*Congress approved S.J. Resolution 108, designating October 6, 1987, as German-American Day. It became Public Law 100-104 when President Reagan signed it.
*Game One of the National League Championship Series where the San Fransisco Giants lost 3 - 5 to the Saint Luis Cardinals.
*Bruce Springsteen's album "Tunnel of Love" was released.
*David Letterman's Top Ten List was the following:
Top 10 Unsuccessful Mall Shops
10. Jiffy-Spay
9. Kentucky-Fried Pinworm
8. One-Hour Autopsy-Mat
7. Fatso Riley's Airtight Hellhole
6. The Prescription Drug Swap Barn
5. Big-and-Tall-Men's Lacy Lingerie
4. Dr. Don's Plasma Pantry
3. Mookie's Cookie Nook
2. Giant Radioactive Red Lobster
1. Grandma's Old-Fashioned Smallpox-Infested Army Blankets *I was born.

It sure is a lot more fun to sing that little ditty to other people... :) 23 was a great year for me. I loved every minute of it. I hope it's a good year for you too! Happy Birthday!!! :)
That song went thru my mind on my 23rd birthday too...and the weeks leading up to it. Oh Blink 182...
I'm sure it'll be a good year. Hopefully it'll include a visit from a DCite...or you visiting DC.
Love you!
