All About Breanne

There are exactly 80 days in the year in which I can officially say that my wife and I are the same age. Today marks the beginning of that period of time. For 80 days, she can keep her "old man" comments to herself. OK, so maybe she won't keep them to herself, but at least I can retort that she is the same age as this old man.

In honor of this momentous occasion, I would have been doing some brief Wikepedia research to see what else has happened of any significance on this day. I have taken the liberty of singling out a few of them for you.

• In 1960 the United States Congress passed the "Meat Inspection Act". I think we can all rest easy knowing that this was passed. In other news, this could be one of the worst jobs ever.


• In 1953 the first Chevy Corvette rolled of the assembly line in Flint MI.


• In 1972 the first "leap second" was added to the UTC time system. Seriously? Has anyone ever heard of a leap second? Is it really necessary? Who's the nerd that realized that we needed to add an additional second to our time system?


• In 1987 the Royal Canadian Mint introduced a $1 coin known as the "Loonie". Thus solidifying the fact that Canada is far less superior in every way.

She shares this momentous day of birth with several others as well. A few of note...

• 1891 Man Mountain Dean- American Professional Wrestler. I wonder if they did flying elbow drops back in 1891?


• 1966 Mike Tyson- Professional boxer and known cannibal


• 1984 Fantasia Barrino- American Idol Alum. Apparently she is still popular. Who knew?


• 1985 Michael Phelps- pot smoker and swimmer.

Of these momentous events not a single one of them lives up to the awesomeness of this day in the year 1982. Breanne came into this world and 25 years later, my life is way better because of it. She's beautiful, talented, and way smarter than I am. Every day is better with her in it. So I would like to wish Breanne a very happy 29th birthday. Thanks for being born! I hope you enjoy the very last year of your 20's.

Love you!
