SALUTE SOMEBODY’S CASKET DAY
MIND
John F. Kennedy Jr. 1960 – his dad was killed just 3 days before his 3rd birthday.
“Don’t feel like you have to say something.”
“Be mysterious: let people wonder.”
*Be mysterious today. Don’t feel like you have to say something. Cherish awkward silence and let people wonder.
BODY
Joe DiMaggio 1914 – yes, JFK’s son and Marilyn Monroe’s husband share a birthday
Joe was known for his gracefulness—his classic swing, wide stance, short stride and powerful wrists.
*Go to the batting cages and work on a classic swing, wide stance, short stride, and powerful wrists. Try to get 56 hits in a row.
SOUL
Percy Sledge 1940
The man who is best known for his first song, “When a Man Loves a Woman”, is so much more than a soul singer. He was a husband, a father, and was deeply inspired by church gospel music.
*Listen to Percy Sledge – with someone you love.
MONEY
Andrew Carnegie 1835
Wealth: $372 billion
Carnegie’s boss had to make out some bills so he asked Andrew to do it. He performed the task well, and his appreciative employer kept finding Carnegie odd jobs.
To Carnegie this was just the first step in his pursuit of better prospects, and he took it upon himself to prepare for the next opportunity that might open up:
*Your current job may be just the first step in your pursuit of better prospects. You’ll stay in this job forever, if you are not on the lookout for a better opportunity and grabbing it.
ENTERTAINMENT

Jason Sudeikis and Christina Applegate have both worked with Jennifer Aniston.
Sudeikis has worked with Aniston in four movies, one of the most notable being We’re The Millers, while Applegate has played the part of her sister on the show Friends.
*Watch Hall Pass with the one you love – discuss possibilities afterwards.
FOOD
Joey Chestnut 1983
