On a completely unrelated note, March 20 just happens to be my birthday.

March 21 is not the first day of Spring
Space.com has a wonderful article explaining why the vernal equinox can shift and points out that from 1981-2102, Spring will begin no later than March 20. The myth that Spring starts on March 21 must be quashed. People who suggest that should be loudly corrected.

Unfortunately, my birthday is March 21st. I had a good run of First Day of Spring Birthdays, starting in 1945, but I guess the good times are over and I have to hand over the torch to you. I hope you enjoy many wonderful First Day of Spring Birthdays.
