4 August 24

 Happy Birthday to me! I continue into very happpy septagenerianhood. My sister Gloria sent me a card that says "Your birthday is a SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT occasion [featuring a picture of a tophatted ostrich, wearing a monocle] . . . But I'm not serious or important, so I got you this ridiculous card." She is ahead of me in years but we have very similar humours.

I'm wearing my chain-mail tie because I am well prepared for whatever battles and tournaments may come my way.

Others born on 4 August include Queen Mother Elizabeth (1900-2002), Louis Armstrong (1901-1971) and Barack Obama (1961). "Poppin' Fresh," the Pillsbury Doughboy, was registered as a trademark in 1970.
