Ode to Jacob

33 years ago today, October 20th, at 3:30pm, a wonderful miracle happened... Jacob (Jake, Jakey, Jocobo) Robert (Rufus) Wilson (Mr. Wilson) was born.

Now, I know Jake doesn't actually read "our" blog, but I thought I'd give him a "shout out" anyway. He is just a wonderful husband, friend, and human being. But, I won't go on about all this qualities and will just say...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!

And for fun...

Today on this date...
1803- The U.S. Senate ratified the Louisiana Purchase.
1859- John Dewey, the influential American philosopher, was born.
