: In one spot on the site, it says he is in "His 62nd year." In his biography, it says he was born November 3, 1939. That would put him in his sixty-THIRD year.
My mom was born in 1953. She is 48, or to reword it, in her 48th year. 2002 minus 1953 equals 49. So, why is she only 48 when, according to the year of her birth, she should be 49? Because she was not only born in a year, but also on a month and a day.
She hasn't had her birthday, August 29th, yet this year.
