Happy Birthday Corey! (Sorry it’s a day late)

But hey - at least it means that I’ve got a picture from the birthday party to post.

So Corey, to paraphrase our baby brother Matt, how’s it feel to be halfway to 40?

On your birthday throughout history:

In 1521 Magellan was killed by Phillipine natives

In 1667 John Milton sold the copyright to Paradise Lost

In 1956 Rocky Marciano retired as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world.

In 1983 Nolan Ryan surpassed Walter Johnson’s career strikeout record.

You share your birthday with:

• Jack Klugman (Actor)
• Walter Lantz (Creator of Woody Woodpecker)
• Samuel Morse (Inventor of Morse Code)
• Enos “Country” Slaughter (Baseball Player)
• August Wilson (Playwright)
