Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me, When I’m 63?

I loved that song way back when. I’ve been singing it all day in my head because my sweetheart, my honey, my love, turned 63 today. He has been a good sport to pose for my camera on many many many occasions, and he knows that every thing he does could end up the subject of a blog post.

I decided to take a look back in history to see what else happened on March 13 over the years. Here is some of what I found:

483 St. Felix III begins his reign as Catholic Pope

1519 Cortez lands in Mexico

1677 Massachusetts gains title to Maine for $6,000

1852 Uncle Sam cartoon figure made its debut in the New York Lantern weekly

1884 U.S. adopts Standard Time

1923 Lee de Forest demonstrates his sound-on-film moving pictures (New York City)
