TODAY IS

Golfer Jordan Spieth turns a mere 25 today. I shoot that on the first hole.

J-Lo's squeeze, former baseball player Alex Rodriguez, turns 43 today.

Former SNL star Maya Rudolph turns 46 today. Her mom was Minnie Riperton, who sang "Loving You" back in the 70s.

Legendary figure skater Peggy Fleming turns the big 7-0 today. She won the gold in 1968 and could probably do it again this year if it wasn't the summer games.

Bobbie Gentry, who became famous years ago with her "Ode to Billy Joe," turns 74 today.
If you know where the Tallahatchie Bridge is, you know how the story ends. She sang "Ode to Billy Joe" back in the days when we sang odes.
Her big hit was "Ode to Billy Joe". I don't think she ever did say how much she owed him.

Another pop singer from the past, Maureen McGovern, hits her 69th birthday. She sang, "The Morning After." After what? After Bobbie Gentry sang "Ode to Billy Joe."

TV pioneer Norman Lear celebrates his 96th birthday. Still a sharp mind.

Take Your Houseplant For A Walk Day -- Yep there really is a day for everything!
