This Day In History, again

On June 18th (year undisclosed, under the pain of torture, not to mention prolonged abstinence), a baby girl was born. She was born in Richmond, VA, quite by accident - although from an old Raliegh family, her father was doing his residency in Richmond at the time. She grew up in Raleigh, and, many years later, said "I do". I said "I do" at the same time and in the same room (no church ceremonies for us hard-core atheists!). Happy birthday!

On June 18th, 1991, I woke up very early in the morning, picked up my backpack and hailed a taxi. My parents and I went down to the Belgrade train station. I got on the train which took me through what, about a week or two later, would become three countries: Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, but at the time were still one - Yugoslavia. Next day, I got off the train in London. Next day, a plane took me from Heathrow to JFK. Next day, I landed in North Carolina. I am still in North Carolina. It's a beautiful day.
