Gadabout

[Henry]

My daughter was born on New Year's Eve (she's engaged to be married in
September!).  Apparently Salinger was born on New Year's Day:

"On Thursday, J. D. Salinger turns 90. There probably won't be a party, or
if there is we'll never know. For more than 50 years Mr. Salinger has lived
in seclusion in the small town of Cornish, N.H. For a while it used to be a
journalistic sport for newspapers and magazines to send reporters up to
Cornish in hopes of a sighting, or at least a quotation from a garrulous
local, but Mr. Salinger hasn't been photographed in decades now and the
neighbors have all clammed up. He's been so secretive he makes Thomas
Pynchon seem like a gadabout."
