On this day in 1954, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower dedicated the USMC War Memorial (Iwo Jima memorial) in Arlington National Cemetery.

On this day in 1956, Sinbad, the actor and comic, was born.

On this day in 1969, the first episode of Sesame Street aired, sponsored by the letters W, S, and E, and the numbers 2 and 3.

In honor of this last one, I’m wearing this shirt today.

Tammy got me this shirt for my birthday. OH! That reminds me. I almost forgot.

On this day in 1973, I was unleashed on an unsuspecting world!

Thanks to everyone for all the well-wishes. It feels good to hear from so many friends. Then again, it reminds me what a rotten cad I am for not doing the same for all of you. I need to work on that!

P.S. If you’d like to send a belated gift (I don’t mind!) you’ll find my T-Shirt Wish List at the top of the sidebar.
