Trivia and Time with Dad!

On Jonah’s one week birthday, here’s a little trivia, via Kurt:

Just some trivia on the famous people Jonah shares a b-day with:

Edgar Renteria (former Marlin infielder).
Charlize Theron (who is the same age as Edgar).
Patrick Kennedy – JFK’s son – who only lived 3 days, something Jonah will
surely surpass.
David Ducovony – X Files Actor.
Alberto Salazar – America’s best distance runner in the 80’s – and who
suffered a heart attack – but survived – last month.
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden.
Alan Keyes – crazy conservative commentator.
Alan Page – Hall of Fame football player.
Walid Jumblatt – Lebanese politician – strongman.
Garrison Keillor – my favorite of those Jonah shares the spotlight with.
BJ Thomas – Raindrops Keep falling on his head.
Don Larsen – Of Perfect Game Fame.
Abebe Bikila – The worlds greatest marathon runner in the 1960’s.
The Amazing Randi – A fan of Skeptics everywhere.
Louis Leaky – archaeologist and father of Richard.
And Mata Hari – the WW I spy.

Teach him about all of these individuals – or buy posters of them and put
them in his room next to the Barry Bonds photo

Actually the Bonds homer may be the most historic event that has occurred
on August 7.

Operation Desert Shield – our first Iraq invasion began on
August 7, 1990, Christine McVie joined Fleetwood Mac and Ivory Coast
independence day is August 7. Otherwise August 7 events are pretty low
key – In 1870 a cat had a record 19 kittens.
– Therefore it will be up to Jonah to claim August 7th as his own.

Some of today’s activities with Dad:

Computer time!

Music Time!

  1. There was a great interview on the Diane Rehm Show recently with a woman who just published a new book about Mata Hari. Her story is really fascinating.

    Bet when you bought that Taylor you didn’t know you’d be playing it for your son just a few years later, did you? :)
