HAPPY MONDAY, MARCH 25

GOOD MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS,

Hope you all had a great weekend and once again eager to start the new week.  Zippy will be around in this last week in March and give you some of his famous Zip's Quips.  I hope he is preparing his work and not sleeping on the job.  Today, let us look at birthdays, passing's and other stuff that happened today.

BORN TODAY:

1133 - Henry II, King of England, one of the characters sung about by Herman's Hermit's, "I'M HENRY THE EIGHT, I AM."  Sorry Henry you were only number two.

UP OR DOWN IN THE CLOUDS TODAY:

1969 - Alan Mowbray - A fine actor on the silver screen in the 1930's and 1940's.  If you watch Turner Movie Classics you will remember his face.  If not, go to IMDB, the movie web and check out the various movies he played in.

1863 - The first Army Medal of Honor is presented.

Enough of this stuff, let's talk food for today.  Today is Lobster Newburg Day.  I never ate that particular dish of lobster, but maybe one day I will.  So Speakies have some tonight for dinner or take your Doll out and have a wonderful evening.
