Belated congratulations are due to Fred and Melissa Hayman on the arrival of their bouncing new baby girl, Melanie Jean Hayman. She arrived on November 22nd, and from what I hear she's a real night-owl (just like her dad).
Could it be that Fred has aspirations for her daughter to play a little tennis, since Melanie Jean shares the same birthday as Billie Jean King? And Boris Becker for that matter. Better still, she might be an actress, given that Jamie Lee Curtis, Mariel Hemingway and Scarlett Johansson were also born on the 22nd. Other notables include George Eliot, Charles de Gaulle, Rodney Dangerfield and Steve Van Zandt.
The 22nd was of course also the anniversary of JFK's assassination, not to mention the death-ivesary of Aldous Huxley, Jack London, Blackbeard the Pirate and Michael Hutchence.
On a cheerier note, it was also the day in 2003 that England won the Rugby World Cup and the day in 1990 that Margaret Thatcher resigned as Prime Minister. Howard Carter found Tutenkhamun's tomb, the Nazis are surrounded in Stalingrad, the Beatles released the White Album, Lebanon gained independence from France, and the first scheduled Concord flies from London to New York. Phew!
Last, but by no means least, November 22nd is the first day of Saggittarius, the Archer, who apparently is philosophical, fun loving and adventurous.
Welcome, Melanie Jean.
