One can be very happy without demanding that others agree with them.   Ira Gershwin

Hayden and I have long discussions about topics like this, and I am savoring them.  Seriously, how many mother’s can say that their teenagers want to have long, convoluted discussions with them?  I’ll take it as long as it will last.

Today is Ira Gershwin’s birthday.  Did you know that?  I also liked this quote, so I thought that I would share it with you.

Here are some other things you may or may not know about Ira Gershwin.

  • He was a lyricist.
  • He was the brother of George Gershwin.
  • His given name was Israel.  I love that.
  • He lived to be 86 years old.
  • He and his brother wrote a bunch of Broadway shows.
  • He loved loud music, much to his wife’s dismay.
  • Ella Fitzgerald sang some of his songs – Embraceable You is my favorite.

Now you know!
