February 2nd

We neglected to mention on our last post that February 1st was also Hattie Wyatt Caraway's (1878-1950) birthday. She was the first women elected to the U.S. Senate in 1932, and she also was the first women to preside over the Senate in 1943. Today is model Christie Brinkley's birthday.

P.S. February 2nd is also Groundhog Day! Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter: see the news story here.
