Sandy:
I looked it up on Google. The book title was the Picture of Dorian
Gray, written in 1890, the only novel by Oscar Wilde. The Wikipedia
encyclopedia calls it a modern classic. They did not mention his
birthday, but as I recall, Dorian went to court and had it legally
changed to 30 February, which resulted in his looking young for the
remainder of his life. I know, Oscar Wilde tried to make the readers
believe that it was the portrait that aged, but of course, anyone with
common sense knows that this is impossible.

That is quite a coincidence. Is his birthday on February 30th?
I was, of course, referring to the man in the famous old classic
book by the same name. It was required reading when I was in Male
high school. or maybe in freshman English class in college.
About the spelling; I may be wrong . Perhaps it was Gray. I no
longer have a copy of the book.

When you know a person's birthday date, but not the year he/ she
was born, how can you do that in the address book under the rubric
"birthday", I mean, how can you leave the year out? I have helped
myself by doing "0001", so I know I don't know.
