Happy Birthday!

French tragi-playwright,

Jean Racine

was baptized 12/22/1639
(perhaps born the same day)
(d4/12/1699)

          When aged, the playwright Racine---
          Who was weaned at the age of sixteen—
            Remarked, "I'll admit
            'Twas a slack, milkless tit,
          But think of the fun it has been."

Fond memories here: The sole source of my income at one time was selling this paricular tomelette from bar to bar in North Beach, San Francisco. Not many sales but lots & lots of free beer.
