Tuesday, October 16, 2001 So. I stood gazing blankly at my Simpsons calendar earlier and realized at some point that this week's birthdays feature powerhouse writers, all week long. To wit: Sunday, 14 Oct. -- E.E. Cummings Monday, 15 Oct. -- P.G. Wodehouse Tuesday, 16 Oct. -- Oscar Wilde Wednesday, 17 Oct. -- Arthur Miller Thursday, 18 Oct. -- Ntozake Shange; Chuck Berry (this one may be stretching it, but what the hell -- the composer of Johnny B. Goode merits all the slack I can slide his way) Friday, 19 Oct. -- John Le Carré Saturday, 20 Oct. -- Art Buchwald And one more: today is the birthday of Fannie Lou Hamer, a genuinely remarkable person. ******************* And how, he asked himself, did it get to be the middle of October already? (Note to Universe: stop DOING that!) ******************* Hot damn! This humble page was, for the first time, listed as a link on another weblog yesterday. And so I must return the favor: If you're looking for some fine distraction, you could do far, far, far worse (how's that for a left-handed recommendation, Kristen? Today is also Kristen's birthday -- leave nice comments when you visit her site. rws 3:06 PM [+]
