This Day in History: April 6

On this day in 1930, the first Twinkie was made. And on this day in 1987, it was digested.

On this day in 1924, the first successful around-the-world flight began. It took 175 days – to which Southwest said, “That fast?”

On this day in 1947, the first Tony Awards were held. They weren’t shown on TV, yet still had the same ratings as last year’s Tonys.

On this day in 1973, baseball’s American League began using the designated hitter. And on this day in 1974, ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest. And not one person who knew one of those things knew the other.

On this day in 1969, actor Paul Rudd was born. Which means today, he turned…35 again, somehow.

Enjoy the present. And remember…The Garden’s Always Greener.
