It has become the 13th day of February 2020. It happened while I slept. It was the 12th and then it wasn’t. Another grain of celestial sand fell from the top into the bottom of my personal hour glass. I’ve got a lot in the bottom half and some still left in the top. How much? Don’t know. Each one is precious and not to be wasted. Today there are numerous events to consider. It’s Kiss Day, Dream A Sweet Dream Day, Get a Different Name Day, Galentine’s Day, Madly in Love With Me Day, Crab Rangoon Day, Break Up With Your Carrier Day and National Tortellini Day. The Galentine’s Day is about female friendships. I’ve already broken up with my carrier and switched to streaming and Hulu. It was a good decision. Now let’s look at what interesting historical events happened on this date: In 1503 Disfida di Barletta which was a famous challenge between 13 Italian and 13 French knights took place. Not knowing anything about this, I looked it up. It started in a bar with lots of wine and plenty of trash talking. The Italians won. In 1633 on this date, Galileo Galilei arrived in Rome for trial for professing his belief that earth revolves around the Sun. This is the date in 1777 that Marquis de Sade is arrested without charge and imprisoned. My guess is that his imprisonment had something to do with someone’s wife or daughter. He said, “In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.” In 1942 Hitler’s Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of England, is cancelled because the German couldn’t achieve air superiority over the coast of England. I never knew that. In 1981 the longest sentence is published by “The New York Times” containing 1286 words. I looked up “Longest Sentence” and that title is held by Jonathan Coe who wrote one with 13,955 words. This is Bess Truman’s biirthday (1885). She said “A woman’s place in public is to sit beside her husband, be silent, and be sure her hat is on straight.” I didn’t find a death of an interesting person but I did find out that on this date, Jerry Lewis got married to his second wife. I’ll end this with a quote from Jerry, “Turning 90 isn’t for sissies”. Ok, that’s it. Have an excellent day. Abide
