Happy 74th
Dad going topless
Originally uploaded by Kiki Marcus
I admit it. I'm a daddy's girl. And today is Dad's 74th. Doesn't look 74, does he? It's the car. Hot cars make old guys look better!
Just for grins and giggles (and as a total rip off from the NY Times) a list of today's date in history:
1781 The planet Uranus was discovered by Sir William Herschel.
1852 "Uncle Sam" made his debut as a cartoon character in the New York Lantern.
1884 Standard Time was adopted throughout the United States.
1901 Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States, died in Indianapolis at age 67.
1906 Suffragist Susan B. Anthony died at age 86.
1925 A law went into effect in Tennessee prohibiting the teaching of evolution.
1933 Banks began to re-open after a holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
1938 Defense attorney Clarence S. Darrow died at age 80.
1947 The Lerner and Loewe musical "Brigadoon" opened on Broadway.
1964 Thirty-eight neighbors ignored the screams of Kitty Genovese, 28, as she was stabbed to death in Queens, New York. The case came to be a symbol of urban apathy and fear.
1969 Apollo 9 returned to Earth after a mission to test the lunar module that was used in the moon landings.
1980 A jury in Winamac, Ind., found Ford Motor Co. innocent of reckless homicide in the fiery deaths of three young women riding in a Ford Pinto.
1988 Gallaudet University, a liberal arts college for the hearing-impaired, chose I. King Jordan to become the school's first deaf president.
1996 A gunman opened fire on a class of kindergartners at an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, killing 16 children and one teacher before killing himself.
2005 Robert Iger was named to succeed Michael Eisner as chief executive of Walt Disney Co.
2009 Happy birthday, Dad.

Not precisely work safe
If you spend Monday through Friday, about or between the hours of 9 AM to 5 PM in some sort of cubical like structure. Er. Probably better wait to watch this at home.
Unless you're like the people in my household - IT staff. In which case you know how to use headsets and wipe all traces of foul language viewing from tracing devices on servers. In which case, this is was written for you.

I heart the internet
I love the internet.
When I tell a story, I'll go off in the strangest of tangents. Ask me about my wedding - you'll get to hear about the quest for the Holy Grail Elvis Panties, which leads me to the diversion about how I can't stand Elvis yet had him drive me to my nuptials, which leads me to those weird Elvis sighting that used to happen every other day, to people who think they've been abducted by aliens, all with a nice roundup of this weird show that talked about alien abductions and the movie Deep Throat and YOU try to make sense of what's become of tv programming.
Anyway. I was saying, I love the internet. You start off reading about how bad the economy is, follow a link, and three hours later come up with this: The Moth - Live Storytelling Performances.
This one gives me hope for a person, who is worth much more then the life he has created for himself, will find enjoyment in his own version of riding a patient down the hall.

Things that inspire me
Or, more aptly, people who do.
The few and small amounts of time I've spent with Zack Arias, I've left wanting to be a better person. His quiet strength of spirit inspires me.
I'm not a photographer. And though Zack filmed this for a guest blog post on Scott Kelby's site, I don't believe for an instant that you need to be a photographer to be inspired by this, either.
