Birthday Baby!


Some pretty cool things have happened throughout history on January 4th.

1493 - Columbus left new world on return from 1st voyage

1790 - Pres Washington delivers 1st "State of the Union"

1847 - Samuel Colt sells his first revolver pistol to the United States government

1863 - 4 wheeled roller skates patented by James Plimpton of NY

1920 - 1st Black baseball league, National Negro Baseball League, organizes

1954 - Elvis Presley records a 10 minute demo in Nashville

1962 - New York City introduces a train that operates without a crew on-board

1999 - Former professional wrestler Jesse Ventura is sworn in as governor of Minnesota.

2004 - Britney Spears has her surprise marriage annulled less than 55 hours after tying the knot with childhood friend Jason Alexander at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas

2007 - The 110th United States Congress convenes, electing Nancy Pelosi as the first female Speaker of the House in U.S. history.

But there is nothing as spectacular or awe-inspiring as the arrival of Sadie Elizabeth in 2009. I think we can all agree that our lives have changed forever.



Enjoy the trip down the monthly memory lane.
