The first writing award I ever won was for an “A Day In The Life of Leonardo da Vinci” contest in sixth grade in celebration of da Vinci’s 540th birthday. Leo is 559 years young today, and he’s still one of my Top 5 All Time Heroes. Happy Birthday, you amazing, astonishing man. Please give my regards to Nikola.
yours in humble admiration,

Hurray for Tesla references that AREN’T in honor of the 80’s band!
You can always count on me for that.
