Fellow Blogger's Missionary Parents Made Ultimate Sacrifice
I just found the story of a Scott Elliott's parents' death over at California Yankee. I sent a note to Scott, and those of you reading this might want to do the same (if you haven't already). Scott has pictures of his mom and dad, who were missionaries, on his blog at Election Projection. (Scroll up on that page to get his email address)

Tommy, Me Boy, You Old Irish Tale-Spinner, You
I often enjoy checking out Big Stupid Tommy's blog entries, and while I don't believe for one minute that he's at all stupid, I'm thinking with a smile that maybe Tommy topped off his story with a bit o' blarney when he wrote about his St. Patrick's Day intruder.

Interesting Cast Of Characters
On occasion I enjoy looking up the birthdays of the day and then imagining some of the birthday people all in one room, or all in one story. Today that group would include: actor Rob Lowe (1964), children's author (and illustrator) Kate Greenway (1846), mountain man Jim Bridger (1804), jazz legend Nat King Cole (1919), ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev (1938), actor Kurt Russell (1951), serial killer John Wayne Gacy Jr. (1942), and ballet dancer Tamara Geva (1908). I read a bit more about Tamara because I wasn't certain I knew exactly who she was. The brief description of her life sounds like a novel or movie all by itself. (Fellow blogger Anne is much more of a ballet expert than this writer.)
And tomorrow? How about Grover Cleveland (1837), Vanessa Williams (1963), John Updike (1932) and Charlie Pride (1938)? If each one played off the others in a single scene, what a tale one could conjure.
