busting out all over
It's June - summer actually has managed to arrive! Ok, technically it's 20 days away, but June is summer, let's face it. And today is Marilyn Monroe's 80th birthday. (What a concept - Marilyn at 80.) I bet she'd still be gorgeous. I met a woman a couple of weeks ago, a knitter, who is 74 and really truly looks like what I always thought you looked like around 50. That would be MM, I feel sure.
It's quite the musical and celeb birthday, as a matter of fact, so happy b'day to Alanis Morissette, Lisa Hartman Black, Ron Wood, Frederica Von Stade, Sylvia Syms, Edward Woodward, Frank Morgan . . . and authors Colleen McCullough, John W Van Duren (I Remember Mama), John Masefield . . . and I love the juxtaposition of Charles Wilson (of Charlie Wilson's War which is a fascinating book about Afghanistan in the last couple of decades and a portrait of a wild Congressman) sharing today's b'day honors with Karl von Clausewitz (The Art of War).
