Well, this is very interesting, I think. I read in the New York Times that today Queen Elizabeth II became Britain's oldest-ever monarch.
Her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria was born in 1819 and lived for 81 years and 243 days. Queen Elizabeth passed that milestone about 5 p.m., today! Her full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor. When she was a little girl she couldn't pronounce Elizabeth and called herself Lilibet.
You can check out all sorts of info about the royal family at their official website.

Other Stuff: I spent a great deal of time today thinking about domain names to no avail. Last night (in the middle of the night) I had several brilliant ideas but was too comfy to get up and write them down and, sure enough, today I could only think of a couple of them. Naturally, they were the ones that were not so brilliant. So tonight I'm putting a notepad by the bed just in case...
It was cool, today, but a sunny and happy day. Blue skies, green grass, flowers...what's not to like? It's so nice not to be knee deep in snow.

I just love reading your comments. It's part of what makes blogging so much fun, don't you think?
Unfortunately, because of a recent spat of spam, for awhile I'll be reviewing comments before publishing them.
Thanks for understanding.
