The 5 of Spades coordinate

David Hyde Pierce's birthday maps to the 5 of Spades (The Restless Mind). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Tony Award and not a verdict on David Hyde Pierce. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You stay in the hard stretch long enough to get better at it.
