QD, I bet you still remember 1009

I remember well, actually. In the early part of the year, Valentine's Day I believe, the country that is now Lithuania was born. Or rather that was the first time it had been known and called Lithuania. Also, The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was all but annihilated by the Fatimid caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah. If memory serves correct, and it should because I was there helping, we knocked down every single stone and brick until nothing was left but the foundation of the church. This was also the year that Adèle of France was born. Many people know her as Adela of Flanders, but even more people will recognize the name Ned Flanders from the Simpsons. Ned is her great, great, great, great grandson twice removed four times over. It was quite a year it was. Later, QD.
