I was born about six minutes before Prince William. I am sure there are other people who were born 6/21 but I’ve never paid much attention to that kind of thing. Though I will admit when I was little I used to imagine that being born so close together time-wise was a sign that I would marry him and be a princess when I grew up. 😃 ---

Spanish Civil War start? Oh yeah!) High-five (that lands oddly, makes _swish_ sound rather than a _clap!_ and leaves us both embarasssed) back at ya! 😛 Yeah, we’re not high-five kind of people. I forgot about old Nelson Mandala, yeah him and Vin Diesel - cue the odd couple music - dada dada dada-ah, da dada-h, da dada-h da-h. ---
