More meme-ing

Mimi, that member of blog royalty who is always writing beautiful prose, tagged me to do a meme that I believe I already did, but since I am avoiding work, I figure why not.

We are supposed to look up our date of birth on Wikipedia and find three events, two births and a holiday that happened on that date.
I'm a Capricorn and was born on Dec. 29 sometime during the last century.

Event #1 - British soldiers burn Buffalo, N.Y. in the War of 1812, even though this event was on Dec. 29, 1813.

Event # 2 - In 1851, the first American YMCA was established in Boston. Three years later, The Village People got together and recorded their huge hit, "Y.M.C.A." OK, maybe not.

Event # 3 - In 1921, William Lyon Mackenzie King became Prime Minister of Canada. Interesting, a king as prime minister.

Two Births: Actress Mary Tyler Moore, 1936, and singer Marianne Faithfull, 1946.

Holiday: It's right between Christmas and New Year's, isn't that enough?

I shall tag Joan, Lynn, Moose, Ralph and Curmudgeon, Esq.

Take the top name off the list and bump everyone up so that yours can be added to the bottom.
Here's the list:

Friends, I hope you do the meme even though you may have possibly, probably, no doubt done it before.

Wow. Two posts this afternoon. And I thought I was having a dry spell.
