Halifax, Nova Scotia was founded in 1749.

New Hampshire becomes the ninth state in 1788.

Lou Gehrig retires in 1939.

Three civil rights workers are murdered in Neshoba Country, Mississippi in 1964.  (See movie Mississippi Burning.)

I am born in 1968.  That makes me 38 today.

Those sharing my birthday include:

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905)

Lalo Schifrin (1932) Note: he has my favorite album title of all time: There’s a whole Lalo Schifrin Going On

Ray Davies (1944) Brought us Lola, not Lalo.

All in all, it’s a pretty boring day in world history.

But, it’s my birthday none-the-less.

I still don’t think I look 38.
