I mentioned in the past two columns about the February birthday frenzy in our two families. Now it鈥檚 time to wish my mother-in-law Anne, my sister-in-law Cindy and my dad, Doug McConnell, happy birthday as they all share Feb. 22 as a birth date.

I will keep you in the loop once we know the details
