Summing up 30 years

On July 4th I will share my birthday with the United States. One difference: 200 years.

So to this 3rd decade I can summarize my life's quality as better than most. I was brought up by two great parents, who through with all of the bumps in the road, stuck it out and are still together after 30+ years. It is hard to believe that 24 of the last 30 years I was occupied with trying to educate myself in a formal way, and I'm not done.

I share my birthday not only with the USA but with persons such as US President Calvin Coolidge, Spanish bullfighter Manolete (How bad ass are you is you just known as Manolete. His proper name is Manuel Laureano Rodríguez Sánchez), columnist Ann Landers, actress Eva Marie Saint, and dramatic news reporter Geraldo Rivera.

Ironically both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on this date.

I have a lot to live up to to be as succesful as Thomas Jefferson. Have you heard of anyone in present time to be aagriculturalistsst, horticulturist, architect, etymologist, archaeologist, mathematician, cryptographer, surveyor, paleontologist, author, lawyer, inventor, violinist, and the founder of the University of Virginia. And to think I was starting to feel bad for working for 3 companies within a two year time period.

You know what makes me feel young? Knowing that I can't even be President until I am 35. Well I guess I better go brush up on my politics and bribery.
