This day in history...
1789- French citizens storm the Bastille and free 7 prisoners
1790- Fete de la Federation in France celebrates a constitutional monarchy and national reconciliation
1798- The Sedition Act is passed in the US
1933- Gleichschaltung: all political parties in Germany are outlawed except for the Nazi party
1969- The US withdraws $500; $1,000; $5,000; and $10,000 bills from circulation
1987- Leslie is born in Baltimore, Maryland
Yes, it's true. In addition to the French gaining their independence and the Germans losing theirs, I was born on this day in history. And today I am 21. Today's birthday celebrations will include working a long day and going out to dinner. And that is all. Whatever happened to the water balloon tosses and pinatas? I guess it's officially time to be a big kid.
Please note: this post is, in fact, a shameless plea for birthday wishes. Just kidding... sort of. :) No really, I'm kidding.
