Once upon a time today was Friday this thirteenth.  Today is tuesday though, but it’s still a good day. For various reasons:

1- Today is Embrace Your Geekness Day.

2-Speaking of geeks, Patrick Stewart turns 70 today.

3- If you are living in the US, unfortunately for you, passport fees are going up today.  $35 more for first timers and $20 more for minors.

4-Harrison Ford turns 68 today.

5- In 1982, the Montreal Expos hosted the first All-Star Game played outside the US.
