MAKE IT A GREAT DAY: April 14th and history

It’s Sunday. April 14th, is a big day in the United States’ history.

Friday, April 14th, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot by actor John Wilkes Booth while attending the Fords Theatre play, OUR AMERICAN COUSIN. The president would survive until 7:22 AM the following morning.

April 14th, 1912, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and within a few hours, sank, taking the lives of approximately 1500 individuals.

Last night, I worked an early release at Schuster for TINA: The Tina Turner Musical. The audience poured in, many gussied up in shiny gold materials and sparkling from head to toe. They were eager and excited to see this music icon’s story on stage. And a good show they got.

The weather seems to be returning to a more comfortable stand of the 70s this week. Today, we shall be at 79 degrees but will have another dip to the upper 50s by Friday. The seasonal allergies have not been too great a nuisance, but my sinuses have been triggered by the lengthy spell of rain this past week.

Make it a great day!
