April 15th has dark reputation on the calendar. Lincoln died on this date in 1865, Some scholars believe this as the date on which Christ was crucified. In 1941 around a thousand people are killed in Belfast Northern Ireland in a German air raid... and so on.

And it's income tax day.

On the bright side, Fenway Park opened up in Boston this week in 1912. Appropriately, the news of the opening of what is now the oldest park in MLB was driven from the front pages by the news of the sinking of the Titanic.

I know it’s Trump’s fault, I won’t even bother watching CNN to find out why.

Trump conspired with the iceberg. Oh, and the Russians, too.

Is there a trick to making the newspaper pages readable?

There is an excellent 1958 movie about the sinking, A Night to Remember. And a book, same title, by Walter Lord..

Just click on the image of the page you want to read. The orange button makes the page full screen and you can enlarge the page text by clicking on it.

It worked!!

I just would NOT feel safe knowing I was depending on some kids with goggles to make sure we didn’t hit an iceberg the size of Staten Island that would send me and mine to a watery grave.

But that’s just me.

Well, the Ides of March is just one day, not the whole month.

September is only cruel if she gives you bad news when she comes back from summer vacation. SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER - THE HAPPENINGS

Not sure what's so bad about December. I guess Aqualung didn't like it's "foggy freeze," and that it's a pretty dry time for watching "pretty panties run." Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Gordon Lightfoot didn't have too much positive to say about November: "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot.

Unfortunately that weasel JP Morgan called in sick, so he did not go down with the Titanic.
