It was on this day in 1978 that Jim Jones, leader of the Peoples Temple, ordered more than 900 of his followers to drink cyanide-poisoned punch.
It was on this day in 1928 that Mickey Mouse was born. Walt Disney's "Steamboat Willie," premiered in New York at the Colony Theater. It was the first sound-synchronized cartoon to attract widespread public attention. Along with Mickey Mouse, the black and white cartoon featured Minnie Mouse and Pegleg Pete.
I was sung to by my wife, my daughters, my grandchildren and my brother. Saw a terrific little movie, The Shop Girl. Had a nap, wings from Vito's, fresh baked chocolate cake made by my daughter, great golf gifts. A damn fine day. Let's do it all again next year.
