October 25th my dear, October the 25th...

FINALLY, a rainy, cloudy day here in Capitol City... We needed the rain and sure enough we are getting our fair share; the cold and rain is ironically similar to an October 25th back in 1415. The English and French were to meet in a famous battle, the battle at Agincourt on St. Crispens Day... It was dramatized by Shakespeare in his "King Henry V"; Henry rouses his undermanned English side against the French. With the help of the longbow, the English were to rout the much larger French army in another battle during the bloody Hundred Years War. Can you image our "boy" President giving such a speech let alone leading his troops in battle:how have things changed!! Speaking of battlers: the notorious Jeanne Cooper whose legendary feud as Katherine Chancellor with nemesis(now daughter) Jill Foster Abbott has her birthday today; this Grand Dame of Daytime turns another year finer: Happy Birthday, and keep on fightin!
