  • Darien Slate - Worst Birthday - My dad was a cop. This meant that when crime happened, he was there. Still, he always made an effort to be available at important events. In 1977, on my 14th birthday, I received a great disappointment. See, he had a really good one planned. My birthday was on a Thursday, and we had a small and private party. There was a cake, some ice cream, and my best friend Andy was invited. My parents were frugal people, and I did not expect any more. On Friday, after school, I was picked up by Andy's father, and told very little. He dropped me off in a field, and wished me a happy birthday.

I was very excited, certain something big was coming. The day was chilly, and overcast, but not wet and I was dressed warmly. I waited many hours, my excitement cooling, and finally, like the rain that finally came, sunk into the earth. I started walking, trying to find my way back to town. I hit the road, and did my best to get home. There was little in the way of traffic, but after several hours, and being soaked through, I was picked up by a policeman who saw me trying to hitchhike. He took me home. He didn't say much to me, but when he asked my name, it was clear he knew my dad.

At home, my mother was shocked to see me. She bundled me upstairs and into bed. I was given chicken soup and a lot of worried attention. My father did not get home until well after midnight. I found out later that a war protest had gone poorly, and had devolved into riot. He had planned to meet me in the field, and teach me to shoot a shotgun. When the riots interrupted that plan, he had a co-worker call Mr. Gold. Mr. Gold had already gone to pick me up, and was out for the evening with his wife. I took ill, and missed a good deal of school.

Best Birthday -

  • Lester Roswell -
  • Jacob Rosen - Best Birthday - With so many great birthdays to choose from, It's hard to choose a favorite. However, at the risk of sounding cliche, I'm going to have to go with my 13th birthday. I was one of those lucky individuals to come from a family with slightly more than moderate means, so my Bar Mitzvah was a large one. I got writers cramp some weeks beforehand, both writing a speech, and invitations, but when the big day arrived, and everyone was there and I got to read from the Torah, for the first time. I actually chanted, and for a wonder, my voice didn't squeak or crack. Afterward, when I was complimented on my speech, and overall conducting of the service, I felt 10 ft tall, well not quite, but I'm not sure how to describe the feeling other than the afterglow of a job well done after a lot of effort. Yeah, that was good.

Worst Birthday - December 7th, 1996. I was in my 2nd and final year in the active Israeli Army. In fact I was weeks away from reserve status. My girlfriend of a year had dumped me, I had a cold, and I was hit by a raid. That's right bullets flying, lots of bullets, dust clogging my already moist nostrils, more noise than I care to remember, and here comes this crazy asshole carrying his grenade, pin already pulled. Luckily the Sergeant was one hell of a shot, our would be destroyer was stopped a good 10 yards short and we were able to take cover. The action didn't take long, but I was left with clay in my nose and some fatigues full of holes. I should have got rid of them, but I kept em. Oh yeah, did I mention that Hanukah was only about a week away at this point? Yeah, that one sucked.
