Coming to you live from Deeping St. Magma, County Gloamshire ...
Today is:
National Tooth Fairy Day, National Essay Day, and National Chocolate Soufflé Day !!!
Classical B-Days:
1890 Vaslav Nijinsky, Russian ballet dancer 'the God of Dance'
1916 Svend Asmussen, Danish jazz violinist, known as "The Fiddling Viking"
1948 Bernadette Peters, American Tony Award-winning stage/screen actress/singer/author
Rock/Folk B-days:
1945 Ronnie Rosman, American rock organist/accordion player [ band(s)/group(s): Tommy James & The Shondells ]
1952 Eddie Manion, American touring/session rock saxophonist [ band(s)/group(s): Asbury Jukes/Bruce Springsteen ]
WRR 101.1 FM ― MotD:
W.C. Handy: "St. Louis Blues March" march
WWotD:
obstupefactive ― obstructing the mental powers; stupifying.
QotD:
“A man is a very small thing, and the night is very large and full of wonders.” ― Lord Dunsany, “The Laughter of the Gods”
Personal Commentary/Observation
Very few birds out and about yesterday.
More dandelions are starting to sprout in the lower, greener portions of the park.
Big trailer parked at the gnome-lady's house, but I haven't seen her or her husband all winter.
My re-reading of Dart-Thornton's Bitterbynde trilogy is a joy. The world there just sings.
Retirement jitters have started, even though it's still months away. Really - what am I gonna do with myself?
