It appears that no players with connections to the Minnesota Twins were born on this day. However, it is the birthday of my brother, who is the head of the Mining and Minerals Department at Virginia Tech. Happy Birthday, Dr. A!
I mentioned yesterday that my brother has been married 15 years. Today is the big one though. Today is my parents' 50th Anniversary.
Congrats to your folks, Stick!
Awesome! My folks are creeping up on their 40th (can't recall if it's this year or next). We'll see our 10th this fall, so I begin to appreciate what a 50th suggests.
And for the coder types out there, today is the 50th birthday of the BASIC programming language.
It was born on a Saturday? Nerds.
