Important Stuff...Not-So-Much "Important" As It Is "Stuff"

If you haven't figured it out, I finished a draft that I had started in December and published it today. So there just might be a post you "missed"!

Speaking of my birthday, the hubster asked me last night on what DAY I was born. (Not that formally, I just had to type it that way.) I had no idea and so, of course, it kept me up all night. I found a website that figured it out for me less I lose another night's sleep. Monday, in case you were beginning to obsess about it, too. I was born on a Monday.

So, then I started looking at those sites that tell you which famous people with whom you share your birthday, what famous events took place on that date, etc. Apparently, this photo is pretty popular and it happened on my birthday. According to The National Security Archive at George Washington University:
Of all the requests made each year to the National Archives for reproductions of photographs and documents, one item has been requested more than any other. That item, more requested than the Bill of Rights or even the Constitution of the United States, is the photograph of Elvis Presley and Richard M. Nixon shaking hands on the occasion of Presley's visit to the White House.

Neat, huh? Thank you...thankyouverymuch.

Does this really matter? Who reads this anyway? Seriously. Okay, fine. I'm probably the only Poli-pino you'll ever meet and I: like to cook up a good meal (but if given the choice I'd rather eat out); watch TV and films from here and there; love to laugh and try to do it often; hate to cry but end up doing so...and often; believe we ALL make a difference to SOMEONE at SOME POINT; love long walks on the beach, it's cheesy, I know, but I do love them especially with my family; wish I was as erudite as Stephen Fry, as cleverly comedic as (too many to name here) and as oblivious as Mr. Bean. Obviously I could go on...that's why I started the blog!
