Useless information

April 21
On this day in 1940, the quiz show “Take it or leave it” premiered on radio; this was the show that asked the “$64.00 Question.” I think the $64 question today would be “How much does ¾ tank of gas cost?”

Also on this day in:
1816 - Charlotte Brontë was born.
1838 - John Muir was born.

1918 - the Baron von Richthofen, aka The Red Baron, (above) was shot down.

And, in 1782, Friedrich Froebel, the founder of kindergarten, was born. All we ever needed to know we owe to him!

Oh, and yesterday was the 21st anniversary of my marriage to Rick. Guess you have to subtract the 5 years we were separated?

I would have liked to buy John Muir a beer and listen to him talk for a few hours. That guy was in-terrrr-rest-ting!

Happy 21'st! I hope you guys keep that orginal spark that attracted you two in the first place! If not, maybe you can find it again. Love you girl!

:D

I have an idea for you. Maybe you can change your name from Amethyst to a symbol like Prince did. You can be "The Blogger Formerly Known as Amethyst Rising".

Or something.
