The Marlins/Marlons

Because a ski vacation awaits, I'm going to have to make this a quick one. The fact that it's going to be 60 today does not dampen my enthusiasm for some adult time with out-of-town friends! I will ski on slush to get out of the house and socialize with a glass of wine -- literally.

I'm going to go with the Marlins. Wikipedia has a section in their Marlin entry entitled "Birth of the Marlins," but to be more precise, I think it should say "Hatching of the Marlins."

Marlons that I think are more interesting than the Marlins:

Marlon Brando. The greatest movie actor of all time? Perhaps.

Marlon Jackson. He was born several weeks premature, and had a twin brother who died shortly after birth. Also, he is/was a successful real estate agent in Southern California. I knew none of this prior to today.





Marlon Wayans. He attended the LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts (the school from Fame) and Howard University.

Yeah, that's all I've got. Did I miss anyone?
