Having a birthday on November 22 means you know that is the day John F. Kennedy was shot. It also means having a few lonely birthdays, at least if you live in the U.S., because it sometimes falls on Thanksgiving. In this episode of It Is Your Birthday, Sayre Quevedo talks about the unique experience of trying to celebrate yourself while the rest of the country is focused on giving thanks, talking about the traffic, and pretending to like certain relatives.

As a Sagittarius sitting right on the Scorpio cusp, Sayre talks about the weird math of wins and losses, the personal relationship with failure and time, and comes prepared for this conversation with a reading of a special poem.

Give this episode a listen and join me in wishing Sayre a happy birthday.
Editor’s Note: Sayre and I also share the same birthday. :)
