* 490 BC - Athens defeats Persia at the Battle of Marathon
* 1609 - Henry Hudson discovers the Hudson River.
* 1575 - Henry Hudson, English explorer
Okay so there were things that were way more socially important, but I thought it was interesting that Hudson found the Hudson River on his birthday.
I'll tag anyone who reads this (which is likely way less than five)

Can't tag me--I tagged you! But I think you're right...the Hudson thing is really cool:-)
Thanks for the hugs on my blog today--they help!
I know it sounds horrible, but you really do want to smack your kids when you see them--it's difficult to explain why. It's like THEY caused you all that worry, THEY terrified you, THEY hurt you, and your adrenaline rush is so acute, that it really is difficult to separate the love from the absolute terror and not to just shriek at them, "DON'T EVER F-ING DO THAT TO ME AGAIN YOU LITTLE GOOMBAH...THAT HURT!!!"
I can't explain it better than that...that's probably what you saw with those parents...adrenaline and absolute terror don't necessarily make your nurturing side shine like a new penny, if you know what I mean.
so...I've been tagged? cool, but I already did this: my wiki-fun
