Missed it by a day; 10 January is anniversary of Tom Paine's anonymous publication of his pamphlet, "Common Sense."
Author listed as "written by an Englsihman."  Said by historian Gordon S. Wood as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire Revolutionary era."
Have to look backward to look forward.

"Aim for a high mark and you will hit it.  No, not the first time, nor the second, and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting,
for only practice will make you perfect.
Finally, you will hit the bulls-eye of success."
-Annie Oakley Butler
