Chief Roberts
We have a new (in more than one sense of the word--it's depressing when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is younger than me) Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Whew, that's a relief. I knew he was born in 1955, but I assumed that it was after I was, since I have a January birthday. But it turns out he's one day older than me...

You're older than Roberts? Dang -- I thought you were closer to my age for some reason.
Old coot.

Same thing happened to me when I was about 36. I went back to school to work on my Ph.D. in aerospace engineering and two of my professors, one of them my dissertation advsor, were younger than me by about a year. About the same time my church got a new pastor who was also a year younger than me. Fortunately Roberts is still a little older than I am.

Jeff_H, I'm experiencing the "advisor younger than me" problem right now. It's pretty weird.

I'm a 1955 baby too, but October 29th -- only one day after Bill Gates was born in 1955.
Chief Justice Roberts doesn't bother me, but that Harvard dropout sure does... [grin]

Aw, both you guys are about a year older than me (1-12-1954), but I started feeling 'old' when Playboy (a magazine that's also my age, even though the first issue didn't actualy say January) playmates started having birthdates later than mine....

Wotta buncha whiners!
No sympathy here. I was born in 1946. ;-p

I'm starting to feel like a rugrat.

Frank-
If you were born in '54, and they were both born in '55, wouldn't that make them a year younger than you, not older?
I'm going to retire to my playpen now...

Do check out my photos of last year's DC Area Red Dress Run or the the Full Moon Prelewd.
This year's event starts tonight.
OK, you young punks, I was born in 1945. I bet I can still do a 10K faster than any of you.
Oh, John Roberts will not be the last Chief Justice. If nothing else happens, he'll be bored out of his mind in 30 or 40 years. He also might get disgusted by the victory of the Libertarian-Green Fusion ticket in 2032. :-)

Oops. True enough....

"Chief Justice of the Supreme Court".
Nitpick: the title is
'Chief Justice of the United States'.
