ON THIS DAY: In 42 BC Mark Antony and Octavian decisively defeated Brutus's army at the second battle of Philippi, and Brutus committed suicide. In 425 Valentinian III became Roman emperor at the age of six. In 1707 The Parliament of Great Britain, created by the Acts of Union between England and Scotland, held its first meeting. In 1946 the United Nations General Assembly convened for the first time, at an auditorium in Flushing, Queens, New York City. In 1958 the Smurfs, a fictional race of blue dwarves, later popularized in a Hanna-Barbera animated cartoon series, appeared for the first time in the story La flute à six schtroumpfs, a Johan and Peewit adventure by Peyo, which is serialized in the weekly Spirou magazine. In 2012, after 38 years, the world's first teletext service (BBC's Ceefax) ceased broadcast due to Northern Ireland completing the digital switchover.
IMNSHO, FWIIW: weekends are too short. Political campiagns are too long. It doesn't make any difference how carefully I track the time, I am still not ready for winter or for the holidays. It doesn't matter how old you are, the next generation always baffles you [gotta luv someone who is in their mid-20's grousing about kids today!]. Living alone reinforces the inner slob in you, especially when you don't get company. Cats sleep a lot.
