3 March ...
In 1956, the most wonderful man to ever walk the face of this earth was born ... at least in my eyes.
Nearly 2 years ago, this guy introduced me to this game. I used the username "Daddys Kat" just to let him know I joined ... he's my first friend on my long list of friends.
Happy Birthday uncle Rich! While you choose to be my favorite uncle (which you are, bar none) In my eyes, you'll always be my "Daddy".
Well, well -- Sister Kat ! Where ya been? Tell Unc-Rich HB for me

1133 - Henry II ~ House of Plantagenet ~ 1st Imperial King of England
When Henry Plantagenet, of the House of Anjou, was crowned King of England at the age of twenty-one, he already possessed vast holdings in France through inheritance and marriage. Those resourses, and the force of his character, made him the strongest English monarch in generations---until his sons began to maneuver against him.
