Happy Birthday, woman!
You’re, what…28?
Thanks, all, for the birthday wishes. I had a good day.
I just Googled “today in history” and found the year with famous people’s birthdays listed. I actually cut this list in half–there were, for some reason, tons of professional sports players on the list.
I like that I share a birthday with Flannery O’Connor, greatest writer ever, and Gloria Steinem, coolest woman ever!
Well, I knew Anne, of course, but I never heard of any of the rest of these people…
Wow. What luminaries.
All I have is Demi Moore, Carrie Fisher, Sally Field, and John Philips Sousa.
Happy Birthday, Ms Mama.
