Lots of birthday folks around this place lately! Our latest VIPs: Trysh T. and Wanda W.! Happy birthday, Trysh and Wanda!
Also born today: Conway Twitty, Gloria Estefan, and Lily Tomlin (among others!). On this date in 1939, World War II began, when Germany invaded Poland. In 1985, the remains of the Titanic were discovered by a joint French/American expedition. And my husband, the chess geek, would be disappointed if I didn't mention that it was on this date in 1972 that American Bobby Fischer beat Russian chess Grandmaster Boris Spassky to win the chess World Championship. (He beat Spassky again in a rematch 20 years later.)
When you're blowing out the candles today, y'all, be careful what you wish for! This young lady won the lottery and, while it was a life-altering experience, it wasn't in such a good way. (I guess they call it the root of all evil for a reason! Eek!) Whatever you wish for today, Trysh and Wanda, I hope it comes true…in a good way! Happy birthday from QR!
