Fourteen

What do Amy Winehouse the singer, Katie Lee the chef, Nas the rapper, Robert Herjavec the millionaire from Shark Tank, and this blog have in common?

They were all born on September 14th, of course!

If my blog were my kid, she'd be a freshman (freshwoman? freshperson? I dunno.) in high school by now. 

Can you believe it?  Do you still read it?

Probably not, considering how infrequently I write it.  

But for the true fans (aka my blood relatives) that still do pop in periodically, I know I haven't done an anniversary post in a couple years.  

You know why.

Let's fix that today!  So, as we've done in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, let's take a look back at the past THREE years.
