A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

And he would know.

I am so proud to say that I am living on the same continent as this absolutely amazing human being.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADIBA!

Couple of others of interest as well:

Hunter S. Thompson (Author & Gonzo journalist, "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas") in 1937

Martha Reeves (her as in Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, "Dancing in the Street) in 1941

Richard Branson (him of the Virginal variety) in 1950

On the downside though, it's also the Deathday for a couple of notables:

In 1710, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the Italian painter, died aged 36

In 1817, Jane Austen, the English writer died

In 1892, Thomas Cook, pioneer of the package tour (as in "Thomas Cook & Son"), dies at 83

He shares his birthdate with Napoleone Bonepart, and my mother in-law. Odd hey?
