My 41st Birthday

Wow! Things go fast when you are not keeping track of them.

Let's see -- the most interesing thing that happened the day I was born was not reported -- it was a little known operation called -- Operation Breakfast -- the secret bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War. Hey, the other bomb dropped was me into my parent's lives. There was also a solar eclipse that day, wonder if that was a sign of something. Lennon and Ono were on the cover of Look Magazine released that day. Ain't love great!

1766 -- Britian repeals the Stamp Act in the American Colonies.

1852 -- Wells Fargo's first day of business.

1939 -- Frank Sinatra records his first song - "Our Love". Earned him a contract of $75 a little later

1965 -- First walk in space by a cosmonaut.

1997 -- Aerosmith released their album Nine Lives with the Hit -- "Pink"

I share a birthday with Vice President John Calhoun (1782), President Grover Clevland (1837) and Writer John Updike (1932).

All that is trivial stuff. The Greatest things are serving the Lord, loving my family and having great friends.

Blessings.
