The cruelest month...

[pat]

April 15, Lincoln's death. April 17, Bay of Pigs. April 18, bombing of U.S. Embassy in Beirut. April 19, Waco. April 19, Oklahoma City. April 20, Columbine. Oh, and April 20 is also Hitler's birthday. Pretty dismal week.

Thank God for Earth Day (April 22).

*grin* there's something on the Earth Day website that makes me think of you :)

Earth Day website (http://www.earthday.net/) - includes a link for an Environment Jeapordy board game :)

What distinguished company I'm in. Or something.

Well, you're not alone -- I was born the same *day* as the Bay of Pigs. While my mom was in labor, U.S. backed insurgents were attempting to overthrow Castro.

I was born... hm. I could've sworn something Watergate-related happened.

Oh. Well. I get the Edict of Nantes, Armritsar, and the Apollo 13. Oy.

And we didn't get the best pope this month either!

Trivial: there was also a shooting at Heritage High School (Conyers, GA) on April 19 or 20, 1999 (if memory serves).

I'm so full of useless interesting knowledge sometimes...
