As noted last year, I’m also as old as the Libertarian Party. Maurice McDonald, one of the original McDonals owners died the day I was born.

I also share a birthday with Pope Leo X, DJ Yella (NWA), Brenda Lee, Ashikaga Yoshihisa, Nikki Sixx, Oscar Guiterrez (Rey Mysterio of the WWE), Hector Berlioz, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

When I was -35 years old, UNICEF began. When I was -30, Italy and Germany declared war on the US. When I was -7, Sam Cooke (and a lot of good music) passed away. When I was 1, Apollo 17 landed on the moon. When I was 10, Muhammad Ali lost his last fight.

Last night, we celebrated with a good dinner at an old Italian place in an older section of town. My brother called this morning.

Not much else is going on with me - I stay really really busy with work and Sycarion. Much love to my friends, thanks for the emails and calls.
