Obligatory Birthday Wishes


Yes Yes, my younger sister Laura is turning 18 today, February 11, a historic day, in 1990 Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, was freed after 27 years in prison..in 1929, the Vatican City came to be..and 2 years ago US Vice President Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face while hunting quail.
But all these other events are pale in comparison to the coming of age of my dear sister. 18. A great age, the age of adulthood, you can vote in most countries, you can legally get married (although in Afghanistan you could get married 4 years ago), you could join the armed forces..many responsibilities come with reaching 18.

So Laura, I wish you a pleasant fun-filled day, eat and be merry. You are slowly shedding the skin of adolescence; the BIG 20 is on the way!

Hi Blogger,
The excitement of your sister's birthday must have wiped away your disappointment with your Bakassi cousins. They defended well but let the truth be told Egypt showed they were a class apart - a royal class, in short true Pharaohs.
