Tax Day
On this day in history...
Jackie Robinson stepped onto Ebbets Field for the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first black player in Major League Baseball.
The Titanic sunk.
The city of San Francisco was incorporated, paving the way for Rice-a-Roni.
Andrew Johnson became the 17th president of the United States.
The bottle opener was invented.
Ray Croc opened the first McDonald's, making him partly responsible for the 10 pounds I can't ever seem to lose.
Tokyo Disneyland opened.
FOX inflicted Jim Carrey on us with its "In Living Color" premiere, and helped me make up my mind about what I wanted to be when I grew up: a Fly Girl.
Leona Helmsley was sent to the pokey for tax evasion.
Howard Stern's radio show premiered.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Greta Garbo and Pol Pot died.
Seth Rogan, Samantha Fox and Leonardo da Vinci were born, along with yours truly. I woke up this morning to a house full of friends from high school, a screaming godbaby and two very traumatized cats. There were meerkats and french fries and laughter and sunshine and a very special delivery of flowers.
