February 17th – Sunday - Traditionally a day of rest, Sunday to me is day filled with activity. I rise at the crack of noon to get a head start on my planned activities, then begin by watching an hour or two of TV. By mid-afternoon I am ready to roll…but first, a nap. How can a man be expected to roll without his nap? By the time 4PM comes around, I am raring to go. A long shower, a nice dinner, glass of port and a book by the fire and my to-do list is fully checked.
Let’s see what our forebears were up to on the February 17ths of yesteryear, shall we?
1933 – Prohibition Ended – Teddy Roosevelt famously quipped: ‘I think this is a good time for a beer’, and I think he was right. But because I prefer wine, why not raise a glass with me? Save 15$ on select wine packs at My Wine Direct.
1933 – First Issue of Newsweek Published – February 17th was a big day in 1933! My guess is that Newsweek would have written a story about this day if they had the ability to look ahead in time and then back again. My prediction? You visit Magazines.com.
