Football News and Famous Birthdays

The Montreal Alouettes are waking up this morning saying, "It was just a bad dream, wasn't it? We didn't really lose 43-1 to the Lions, did we? Tell me it was just the poutine working."

In further football news, it was good to see two young Canadians--Jon Cornish of the Stampeders (formerly of St. Thomas More, Burnaby) and Andrew Harris (three touchdowns!) of the Lions--have such a good day.

And now, on to birthdays, and a salute to famous Scorpios who entered the world on this date, if not in the same year. In no particular order, they include John Philip Sousa, Adolphe Sax, Charles Dow, James Jones, Harold Ross, Sally Field, James Naismith, Jim ("Fibber McGee") Jordan, Thandie Newton, Suleiman the Magnificent, and Johanna the Insane. And closer to home, as newscasters like to say, award-winning children's book author Deborah Hodge. A happy day to all, wherever they may be.
