Happy Birthday to Moi!

Always liked sharing a birthday with these guys, their such a hoot at the party! The hottie at the top is Anton Chekhov, Russian writer of short stories and plays. Middle man is Muhammad Ali, aka Cassius Clay "float like a butterfly sting like a bee," some say the precursor for rap music, oh and world heavy weight boxer champion. Then the electrifying Ben Franklin, signer of DOI, inventor, statesman, lived on Milk Street in Philly.
