I like your 'On This Day' thing. Too bad you decided that you were going to patent it, or I would copy it for sure.April 21, 2008 at 7:44 PMI think perhaps the greatest thing that occured on April 21 was that Cindy Ellsworth gave birth to Ryan. Now let Sarah say that I am sucking up to him too much!
