Happy 8th Anniversary, or A Day of Doom and Gloom?
While visiting Bubbe in the hospital this afternoon, my mom read an article in the Chicago Tribune listing important events that have taken place on July 2. Most of them were horrific, like Ernest Hemingway committing suicide or President Garfield's assassination. Fortunately, one good thing took place on July 2: Pres. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. Oh, and also I got married and my friends' had a baby, so the day isn't a total loss. I did suggest that if my mom didn't stop reading the list of miserable events aloud, next year's edition might include a mother being pushed out the second story window of a hospital.

Thanks, babe. Although I am wondering what you are doing up so late on a work night. Perhaps recent developments indicate that you can mosey in at a later hour?
ReplyDeleteThe cable went out earlier in the evening so I was clearly at a loss without the TV. This lead to my taking a several hour nap thus allowing me to return to my night-owlish ways for a few hours:)
ReplyDeleteAH! July 2nd is my bday... I didn't know how much happened on that day. Until now, I always felt sad that I missed sharing a bday with Tom Cruise by one day (a fact learned in 7th grade and lamented until now).
