Happy Birthday Lucille Désirée Ball | August 6th, 1911 – April 26th, 1989

“The sun never sets on Lucille Ball. All over this worried world tonight, nations of untold millions are watching reruns they also watched the first time around. Joy requires no translation. God wanted the world to laugh, and He invented you. Many are called, but you were chosen. All of the funny hats, the baggy pants, the moustaches and the wigs, and the pratfalls and the blacked-out-teeth – they didn’t fool us one minute. We saw through all the disguises, and what we found inside was more than we deserve”

When I arrived at Milan, number 9 was taken by the Milan symbol Inzaghi so I took number 7. I took 9 because Van Basten used to wear that number. I hope that it will bring me good luck.

When the pair found themselves watching a flash mob unfold, Mr. Stephens recalled, Ms. Ryterski kept repeating, “It feels like they’re singing to me!” at which point he said, “That’s because they are.”

I just read an 1800-word article on flash mob wedding proposals in The New York Times so, yeah, you could say that journalism is alive and thriving.
