A lot of big events in history happened today.

In 1868 – The U.S. Senate began the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson.

1935 – Three-thousand-year-old archives were found in Jerusalem confirming some biblical history.

And in 1941 – Adolf Hitler issued an edict calling for an invasion of the U.S.S.R.

Good Morning!

I hope everyone has adjusted to the time change.

The amount of early morning bird noise has picked up considerably in the last few days. We saw Crocuses on our walk yesterday, and some other flowers starting to bloom as well. Spring is springing. 🙂

I had a dilemma this morning. It’s Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s birthday, but it’s Mickey Dolenz’s too. Hmmmm….. Bach, Monkees……. Bach, Monkees……

And then I said to myself “Hey, why not both?” 🙂

Quote of the Day

“No American should ever be killed in their house without warrant and some kind of aggressive behavior by them. To be bombed in your sleep? There’s nothing American about that . . . [Obama] says trust him because he hasn’t done it yet. He says he doesn’t intend to do so, but he might. Mr. President, that’s not good enough . . . so I’ve come here to speak for as long as I can to draw attention to something that I find to really be very disturbing.”

Rand Paul, during his filibuster yesterday

Think back to your younger days.

What piece of clothing or other fashion item, hairstyle, or “look” did you wear that you look back on and laugh at now?

Mine? That’s easy. Think Don Johnson/Miami Vice suit. And a perm. 😯

And not just a perm, a HUGE FUZZY perm. 🙂

Thankfully, there are no photos, that I know of. 🙂
