Caitlin Turned 18

: O

I thought about her all day yesterday but didn't get home from work 'til close to 10 and didn't want to call that late.

Just wanted to wish her a HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, even if it's late, and reminder her that now that she's legal it's all on her. She can buy cigarettes, porn, sign contracts, vote or go to jail, do things that will make her a winner or, well, you know...so NO PRESSURE, Caitlin. Hope your birthday was happy and that this is your best year yet.

Once again our family historian has been derelict in his duties. Thanks to the power of Wikipedia, I am almost as good as Adrian and can confidently tell you that on the day Caitlin was born, Lichtenstein became a member of the United Nations. Isn't that special?

Other historic events taking place on this day include:

1837: "Stationery and fancy goods emporium" Tiffany was founded. 171 years later they still know how to make the best bling.

1971: Lance "LIVESTRONG" Armstrong was born.

1974: Patti Hearst is arrested after a year on the FBI's Most Wanted List. Most of you are too young to even have a clue who she is or why she was arrested. Google her - it's crazy.

1998: ICANN was formed. We all owe a debt of gratitude to ICANN. If it weren't for them we'd have to remember 66.98.145.18 if we wanted to order pizza online.

And you can no longer blame everything on your parents either. Nope, no pressure at all Caitlin. Happy belated birthday. Lea Anna also wishes you a Birthday, and said she hopes you go to college so you can make lots of money. Love Ya!

Oh, I dunno. I see a couple of interesting things on your day in history. My favorites:

1977 - Apple Computer's first mass produced microcomputer product, the Apple II goes on sale.

2005 - The United States Supreme Court upholds a federal law banning marijuana, including medical marijuana, in Gonzales v. Raich.
