my brother's b-day

it's my brother's birthday!
this is a rather unusual fellow (let's face it, we're all unusual). an Anime (he i did it right!) expert (he will dispute this, but he knows more than i do), with the same kind of humor that i have. (most of the time) we like the same things mostly, even though i like star trek & stargate sg-1 a little better that he does, i think.
i was very young when he was born & i was told "you'll get use to him." it's been 28 years, i'm wondering when this is going to happen. (just kidding dude)
he always says that no one "good" was born on his birthday. well here are a few that i think are "good"

Giuseppe Piazzi (he discovered 1st asteroid; Ceres)
Roald Amundsen (the first to get to the south pole)
barbara stanwyck (actress)
ginger rogers ( fred astair's partner. she did everything he did, but backwards & in high heals)
bess myerson (the first jewish miss america)

this day in history:
1790: Washington, D.C., was established by Congress as the capital of the United States.
1808: Lewis and Clark help form Missouri Fur Company
1926: National Geographic takes 1st natural-color undersea photos
1956: Last Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey Circus under a canvas tent
1969: Apollo 11 departs Earth. will land on the moon 4 days later
1970: Pittsburgh Pirates replaces Forbes Field with 3 River Stadium

so "little brother" there you have it. i hope the coming year is better than last year & well, that's about it. sorry that i couldn't get you a better present. maybe next year.
