Hey, remember me? We sat next to each other in trig that one time in Mrs. Baker's TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Call An Old Friend Day, a day to phone someone you haven’t talked to in a very long time. Or, in this day and age, stalk that person on Facebook ;)

Today is Love Your Pet Day.

A total eclipse of the moon will occur this evening, beginning at 7:34 pm EST, reaching midpoint at 10:00 p.m. Visible in the Americas, the central Pacific, Europe, and Asia.


On this day in 1952, 1953, 1956, 1961, and 1966, Ralph and Carolyn Cummins of Clintwood, Virginia, had a child. Four girls and one boy, all born on Feb. 20.

On this day in 1985, Clarence Nash died in California of leukemia at age 80. He was the voice of Donald Duck.

On this day in 1997, the Trinity Broadcasting network announced it had dropped singer Pat Boone’s Gospel America show after he recorded a heavy metal album and appeared on the American Music Awards in black leather and a studded dog collar.

On this day in 1997, Ben and Jerry's introduced a their ice cream Phish Food, named after the rock group Phish.

In honor of the lunar eclipse, here's some out-of-this-world trivia: Who became the first American to orbit the Earth on this day in 1962?

Good luck :)

Yup, John Glenn is correct! Good job, Kim!

OK, raise your hand if you were singing through Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" to get the answer... :)
