On this day in 1879 Albert Einstein was born. A nice Jewish fellow who was good in Math, yet who was not particularly endearing to those who were his teachers when he was a little one. I can relate. I, too, was born on March 14th, some 73 years later.

Yes, it happened. One of those epiphany sort of moments. The kind of personal eye-opening, view-of-oneself sort of moments that people wax about in the endpaper fin de siecle in the New York Times Sunday Magazine. Except, in this case, I am more concerned and confused than brimming with glorious obnoxious insight and self-awe.
