It’s Friday.

Today, Colonel Deeds turns one year old. I have had him all but two months of his life. While navigating through the exasperating chapter of puppyhood, he is the most loving, affectionate pooch. He’s the charger of the older four dogs, and always gives them kisses and love, whether welcomed or not.

On this date in history, China announced, in 1998, the discovery in the Hui autonomous region of Ningxia, of a previously unknown 15.5 mile segment of the great wall of China, which runs a total of about 4500 miles. One World Trade Center opened in 2014 in New York City on the site of the former World Trade Center complex, which had been largely destroyed in the September 11, 2001, attacks. In 1957, the Soviet Union launch Sputnik 2, which carried the dog Laika, the first living creature to be shot in the space and orbit the Earth. Playwright Eugene O’Neill made his New York City debut with the one act play, BOUND EAST FOR CARDIFF in 1916.

It’s another long day ahead, and another evening at the Schuster Center. On with the day

Make it a great day!
