Okay, but I’m going to go on. My birthday is on the Winter solstice, it’s the first day for Capricorn and the first day of Winter. I was born early, my Grandpa drove my Mom to the hospital whilst my father was out buying cigars for the gardener. My Dad did make it there for my birth via c-section.
Events, why I chose them.
The Battle of the Bulge, a historical event I know nothing about yet I use this all the time when referring to my arse.
Romania - I remember watching it on the news.
Cc the cat, um, how cool is that? I share a birthday with the 2nd cat to be born of this DNA. Now, if we could just clone bunnies who would clean my house for me..
Births
I’m counting the Bee Gee boys as one, the Mom was in labor once and got two kids out of it. I doubt it was easy, more power to her.
Ralph Finnes, yummy.
Death
Beatrix Potter, the kind of writer many of us hope to be. One who’s words are loved and connect people to a time in their life. And, I’m all about reading to Papaya of late and this reminds me of another book she’ll need to know by heart.
Papaya’s:
Events:
- The first day of Aquarius, I start Capricorn and she starts the next one, Aquaruis!
- 1920 ACLU Founded!
- A lot of Presidents were inagurated, a lot.
Births
- 1920 Fredrico Fallini
- 1956 Bill Maher
Death
- 1993 Audrey Hepburn
