On this day in 1775, The Revolutionary War began in Massacusetts, which is why we celebrate Patriots Day. “Sooooo, it’s not named after you??” said Bill Belichick’s girlfriend.
On this day in 1897, the first Boston Marathon was held. And I tell ya, if I’d been running that year – I’d be hoping to finish this year.
On this day in 1947, President Truman opened the White House bowling alley. And on this day in 2025, Don Jr. and Eric got their heads stuck in the ball return.
On this day in 1971, Charles Manson was sentenced to death, later commuted to life imprisonment. Because even Satan was like, “I don’t want that dirty hippie in my house!”
On this day in 1956, Grace Kelly abandoned her Hollywood career in order to marry royalty. And somehow resisted the urge to make an insufferable Netflix show about it.
Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
