As noted last year, I’m also as old as the Libertarian Party. Maurice McDonald, one of the original McDonals owners died the day I was born.
I also share a birthday with Pope Leo X, DJ Yella (NWA), Brenda Lee, Ashikaga Yoshihisa, Nikki Sixx, Oscar Guiterrez (Rey Mysterio of the WWE), Hector Berlioz, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
When I was -35 years old, UNICEF began. When I was -30, Italy and Germany declared war on the US. When I was -7, Sam Cooke (and a lot of good music) passed away. When I was 1, Apollo 17 landed on the moon. When I was 10, Muhammad Ali lost his last fight.
Last night, we celebrated with a good dinner at an old Italian place in an older section of town. My brother called this morning.
Not much else is going on with me – I stay really really busy with work and Sycarion. Much love to my friends, thanks for the emails and calls.
Happy Bday Pin. Good deal on the Berlioz date. But I hope you don’t have the same interest in opium as he claimed!
Glad you’re having a good one!
Anyone who cannot remember where they were when JFK was shot is still a youngster.
I was a shade younger than -8 when JFK was shot. What a year that was.
No opium for me. However, I thought about an ambition to fight my uncle over Japan like Yoshihisa.
I’m at work when the rest of the city is shutdown. My workplace cannot make decisions about who is and who isn’t ‘critical’ personnel, so they named everyone critical. Despite the mayor asking us to stay home, we had to come to work or forfeit a vacation day. So, it’s not a good one thus far.
Did have a good dinner and a good piece of cheesecake last night, though.
So, it turns out I was 4 and a couple of weeks when you were born. (I failed to mark my B-day this year.)
Happy B-day.
I was more than “4 and a couple of weeks” when you were born but Happy Birthday anyway.
