On this day in 1513, Ponce de Leon discovered Florida. And the people he met that day are still living in The Villages.
On this day in 1800, Beethoven led the premiere of his first symphony. And the next day, he apologized to fans who got ripped off by Ticketmaster.
On this day in 1792, Congress authorized a U.S. Mint to produce coins. Strange – I thought those came from behind my ear.
On this day in 1902, the first fulltime movie theater opened in the U.S. And before anyone had even entered, the floor was already sticky.
On this day in 1972, Charlie Chaplin returned to the U.S. for the first time since being blacklisted in the Red Scare. Yes, a comedian unfairly canceled by Washington – can you even imagine??
Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
