Happy Birthday, Lisa!
On this day in 1789, Parisian revolutionaries and mutinous troops stormed and dismantled the Bastille, a royal fortress that had come to symbolize the tyranny of the Bourbon monarchs. This was the beginning of the French Revolution, a decade of political turmoil and terror in which King Louis XVI was overthrown and tens of thousands of people, including the king and his wife Marie Antoinette, were executed.
Speaking of queens, do you know who was the first queen to have her own Web site? Marie Internet! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Hope your birthday is happy, Lisa, and that Gary and the kids let YOU eat cake!

They got me one at work and Gary got me another one at home. Both chocolate, of course. But in my defense, I donated blood yesterday and was told not to skip any meals. No problem there!
