Rest Day
Born This Day:
Lots of good ones on this day. Dustin Pedroia, Donnie Whalberg, Jayy Von Monroe, Sean Penn, Jon Gruden, Jorge Posada, and Thomas Hodgkin.
But the winner, and a salute to my boys in the the Republic of Texas: Davy Crockett:
“You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas.”
“Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!”
“I would rather be beaten, and be a man, than to be elected and be a little puppy dog.”
