Mhhhhmmm! The Sassy Sisters of South County will at 2 p.m. at the Center today. Tea, cake and fun will be served up for free to area seniors.

“Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.” – Lester Bowles Pearson. Here are the government meetings for today:

Money! What a great thing. The Robert Beverly Hale Library is hosting a session on financial freedom at 7 p.m. (Your first tip about financial freedom? The session itself is free!) For more info, click .

Today, that would buy you… Well, probably 5,000 books, but still… On this day in 1800, the Library of Congress was established by President John “Not Quincy” Adams. Initial funding? $5,000.

LIKE BUTTAH! Today, Barbra “Not Barbara” Steisand turns 70. If that just made some of you feel old, I’m sorry.
