Celebrating birthdays, even of people long dead, makes me happy. As a matter of fact, it has always made me happy. Celebrating anniversaries of all sorts has been a moderate obsession since I can remember. (I compelled my mother to hold Sister #1 in front of the mirror as a very little thing, to tell her how old she was. "Sister 1, today is November 7, 1977, and you are 10 days old.")
So, indulge me while I forget that today is Infrastructure and Filing Day in the office by sharing a list of important March Sixes:
Michaelangelo, 1475
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806
Santa Anna Captures the Alamo, 1836
(being quasi-Texased, I may also consider this the day of Davy Crockett's martyrdom)
Ghana Gains Independence, 1957
