You don't need a comma between the month and the date.

September 29, 1957. The last day the Dodgers played in Brooklyn. The day I was born. Thought EVERYBODY knew that.

Frank Barretto, usually, if you play your cards right, with the "better half" that happens in the month of February on "Valentine's Day."

It's a bit confusing about "World Heart Day" being celebrated in September. When there is also a celebration of sorts for women in the month of February. In regards, to knowing the signs of heart disease in women overall.

It's actually Archangel Michael the protector of mankind that some a hole bastardized. I prefer coffee day...isn't everyday heart health day?
