Birthdays and numerology, TB style

Today is Kate's birthday. She is twenty two, or one year past full adulthood. Unfortunately, Kate is at school today and has three (?) classes to attend before she can celebrate in full. I am not sure how Kate will celebrate in full. I understand there is a party in which the participants are to dress up like clergy or tarts. That is the rumor. Her mother says Kate intends to dress like Brittany Spear's little sister. I guess since Brittany is now officially a 'former celebrity', she is no longer fair game. That means that her little sister is the official celebrity-hog in the family. Perhaps their mother needs to take this post over since she is the official creator of the mess in the first place.

The official sports figure for the number twenty two is Dave Debusschere, a former forward for the New York Knicks back in the sixties and seventies. He was the other forward with Bill Bradley, later a Senator from New Jersey.

I often sit in front of Deal or No Deal when they show it at night and designate sports figures for the numbers. Some of the numbers don't have names, but most do. Here is a list of my numbers and designated names for the ones I know.

I could try to go on from here but it would be silly. I think if I thought about it I could come up with a few more. I am also sure that some of my friends could help me with this.
