John Wayne Fact: The evening before a shoot he was trying to get some sleep in a Las Vegas hotel. The suite directly below his was that of Frank Sinatra (never a good friend of Wayne), who was having a party. The noise kept Wayne awake, and each time he made a complaining phone call it quieted temporarily but each time eventually grew louder. Wayne at last appeared at Sinatra's door and told Frank to stop the noise. A Sinatra bodyguard of Wayne's size approached saying, "Nobody talks to Mr. Sinatra that way." Wayne looked at the man, turned as though to leave, then backhanded the bodyguard, who fell to the floor, where Wayne knocked him out by crashing a chair on top of him. The party noise stopped.

May 22nd: Duke has had the same seahorse that has been sleeping with him since he got it From Teresa and Ray Piecy for his first Christmas. now that is is older he still uses it but can hit the belly to help him go back to sleep (poor baby is just like his mom and needs noise.)  Last night the batteries failed at around 2am. I notice a noise in his room, but didn't hear more until 4 am when the sippie cup jail cell rattling started. I went into his room and touched his seahorse to turn it on for the wide awake baby. His poor seahorse was out of batteries. It was an easy fix, but it made me think of how reliable his seahorse has been to him. It's been thrown out during unwanted naptimes, lay next to him when sick and allowed me to check on him without disturbing him. His sweet seahorse that watches out for him, that one day will not be on his bed, but will be in my heart.
