I meant to post earlier to mention that Thursday would have been Fred Rogers's 75th birthday, had he lived.<\/p>\n
But now it's after midnight, so I'll instead just note that today (Friday) would have been J. S. Bach's 318th birthday. Had he lived.<\/p>\n
And no, that's not a request for zombie musical-genius stories, especially not ones that end with the punchline \"I'm decomposing!\"<\/p>\n
Anyway, earlier in the week it was Patrick McGoohan's and Jeff H's birthday (P. McG. turned 75; born one day before Mr. Rogers); before that, John Updike turned 71; Monday was Josh's birthday, and would've been my grandfather's 91st; last week featured birthdays of David Powers, Tad Williams, and Albert Einstein. (Next March will be Einstein's 125th.) And the week before that, Gabriel García Márquez turned 75.<\/p>\n
Oh, and this entry has the number 1000 as its entry ID. I've actually only posted 943 entries (most of those in the past two days [rimshot])—the numbering system includes Vardibidian's entries as well as test entries that I've subsequently deleted or that otherwise went awry—but I suppose it's some kind of milestone anyway.<\/p>\n
And now I'm going to bed.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
