Today is August 23rd. Wonder what happened on this day in history:
1914 - Japan declares war on Germany in World War I
1926 - Rudolph Valentino dies at the age of 31
1934 - Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) was born
1949 - Rick Springfield was born
1962 - John Lennon married Cynthia Powell
1966 - The Lunar Orbitor 1 took the first photographs of the earth from an orbit around the moon
1970 - Lou Reed played his last song with the Velvet Underground
1979 - Russian ballet dancer Alexander Godunov defected to the United States
2000 - Richard Hatch was the first winner of the reality television show "Survivor"
**This is the first day of the zodiac sign Virgo.
Now lets get out there today and make history!

How fitting that a year after John married Cynthia, the Beatles released "She Loves You". Too bad the longstanding popularity of that song didn't match the duration of their relationship.
Many thanks for your recent blog comments. I hope you're well and having a lovely tail end of August.
