Happy Birthday to my almost twin, SteveH, whoever you are:

Today in history:


-- Today is Friday, April 9, the 99th day of 2010. There are 266 days left in the year.


On April 9, 1959, NASA announced the selection of America's first seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Donald Slayton.


On this date:

In 1682, French explorer Robert de La Salle claimed the Mississippi River Basin for France.

In 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. And we're still debating this on TS4Ms !

In 1939, singer Marian Anderson performed a concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. after she was denied the use of Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution.


In 1942, American and Philippine defenders on Bataan capitulated to Japanese forces; the surrender was followed by the notorious Bataan Death March which claimed thousands of lives.



In 1959, American architect Frank Lloyd Wright died in Phoenix, Ariz., at age 91.

In 1960, the Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals for the second year in a row by defeating the St. Louis Hawks 122-103 in Game 7. I like this one

In 1965, the newly built Astrodome in Houston featured its first baseball game, an exhibition between the Astros and the New York Yankees. (The Astros won, 2-1, in 12 innings.) I like this one, too !





Five years ago: Britain's Prince Charles married longtime love Camilla Parker Bowles, who took the title Duchess of Cornwall. Tens of thousands of supporters of a militant Shiite (SHEE'-eyet) cleric filled central Baghdad's streets, demanding that American soldiers go home. A day after the funeral for Pope John Paul II, cardinals began an intense period of silence and prayer before their conclave to choose the next pope. Feminist author Andrea Dworkin died in Washington, D.C. at age 58.

Had a great time except for Wakefield throwing back-to-back homers and losing against KC, it was terrific.

Thank you one and all for the kind wishes.

Hope this year is a great one for everyone.

Best,
B.
