(Other neat facts about the esteemed date of April 22nd can be found on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
April 22nd also happens to be the birthday of The Bull, (who turns 45 at high noon Eastern time), and it is the anniversary day of my marriage to Lady Beth. (This year marks our third year of wedded bliss.) As it turns out, it is a beautiful day here in Mobile, AL and the magnolias are just beginning to bloom. The air is tinged with their sweet scent. Given about three more days the air will be like a thick, sweet syrup with the smell of hundreds of thousands of those blooms. For today, however, it is better than any bottled perfume or air freshener. ‘Tis a day for relaxation, talk with friends and relatives, and of Love.
We’ll make the most of it.
Later. 
May God Bless you with many more of each.
