Congratulations: you are one of the few Humans in history who will be able to celebrate "Palindrome Date Day":

Happy Palindrome Date Day! 01/02/2010

In fact, if you're around my age, we're lucky enough that we'll probably celebrate several in our lifetimes. Nice, considering that before this century, the most recent Palindrome Date Day was 08/31/1380. We're pretty spoiled, huh?

We can immediately look forward (and one backward) to:

10/02/2001
01/02/2010
11/02/2011
02/02/2020
12/02/2021

With some good health and a bit of luck, and we might even hold out for:

03/02/2030
04/02/2040
05/02/2050
06/02/2060
07/02/2070
08/02/2080
09/02/2090

The next century will have the same pattern of dates, but on the 12th of the months instead of the 2nd.

10/12/2101
01/12/2110
etc...

The same with the century after:

10/22/2201
etc...

But, the 24th century will be forlorn of Palindrome Date Days, for there is no 32nd day of the month. Sorry, Captain Picard! It's alright, by then they'll be using stardates anyway.
