Another silly meme
July 2,
Pepper, Sol & Junie’s cousin Tomer sent this along and I had to participate. I’ve yet to meet Tomer, but he will be passing through town soon when his circus visits. He is quite the accomplished escape artist! He is also dating someone mentioned in this blog. Can you guess who?
Anyway on to the meme! Although I’m not a big fan of Wikipedia, I am a fan of internet memes! Here goes:
Here’s your assignment should you choose to accept it. Go to Wikipedia, type in your birth month and day.Then post the following on yer blog: 3 Events, 2 Births, 1 Holiday/Observance.
Events:

Well, I am a big Kerouc fan. And I love John Cage’s writings although I don’t usually care for his music. I read some Robert Fergusson years ago, but don’t recall my impressions. I will have to go to the library and discover some Léopold Sédar Senghor!
I tag Kiki & Nina, Jinx & Pheobe and Anenome!
