* A forensic artist says she's identified the sailor in Alfred Eisenstaedt's famous Aug. 14, 1945, image taken in Times Square at the end of World War II. The photo (above) is the most reproduced image in the history of LIFE magazine. (The 80-year-old Houston man, who was 18 at the time, says he was changing trains to visit his girlfriend in Brooklyn when he heard the news and randomly grabbed and kissed this woman. He said his hand is twisted as such because he saw someone taking the photo and wanted the nurse's face to show. He says they never spoke.)
* I drove home next to a car with "SCRUBZ" on the license plate. (I like to think Zach Braff and I had a moment.)
* "Blomo" is a below the flag promotional -- usually just a little snippet story. (Good to know after nine weeks, huh?)
* If you're reading this, I assume you don't yet have kids. But if/when you do, think back and remember it could be worse.
