The Lunar Landing: lost in time and space

My son-in-law was out of the country on the day of the lunar-landing celebrations so when he got back I apologized for missing his birthday and he looked puzzled and said his birthday was still a few days away. He claimed that he hadn’t told me he was being born on the day of the lunar landing, only that he was about to be born so he wasn’t watching television or looking up at the moon, but I don’t care—I still think it’s a small miracle the way things worked out between him and me.
