On my birthday the Byzantines were overthrown, a volcano erupted, the Gregorian calendar began, Hitler met with Mussolini, the first satellite was launched, a hurricane hit, and a pope visited.
Queens, saints, and painters were born. Revolutionaries, astronomers and prodigies were born. Janis Joplin died.
Cinnamon Roll Day in Sweden. Day of Peace and Reconciliation in Mozambique. World Space Week.
To the amazement and interest of no one but myself. I love you, diary.
