Today is one of those days where I could easily geek out.

It's a date on the calendar that is meaningful to me, not because of something personally that happened,

although yes, I guess I could say that, but more because of its historical significance. And there are people who,

like me, are really, really, really interested in what happened on this date. And then there are

others, like my wife, Ava, who aren't. And so as we're walking today, I've got to be mindful of you as well.

So I want to talk about this because I can't let this date go by.

It's just not possible for me to let this date go by

and not mention it in some form or fashion,

but to do it in a way that is interesting for you.

So I'm going to give that a shot in just a moment.

But the shocks, cordless headphones have changed all that.

The headphones wrap around the back of my head over over the top of my ear, and the speakers

actually sit in front of my ears.
