Among other things, today is Rosie O'Donnell's birthday, and Timothy Dalton's and Matthew Broderick's. Thomas Cranmer and Pocahontas died on this date, the British lifted the seige of Lucknow and ended the Indian Mutiny, Alcatraz Prison closed, and Kate Smith recorded "God Bless America."

This date is also [livejournal.com profile] tnh's birthday. She is the patron saint of exploding things, finely polished sentences, information for the love of it, and yarn. I had the privilege of working for her at Tor for almost two years, and am delighted and privileged to call her my friend. So happy birthday, T. Hope you got everything you always wanted and didn't have yet.
