April 19, 2026 — Today is National Garlic Day, which feels like one of those things where the effects tend to last longer than expected.
Today we’re looking at a few moments where what happens after matters just as much as what happens first.
First, the opening battles of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, where a single moment changed direction.
Then, the first Boston Marathon in 1897, something that didn’t stand out for how it started—but for how it continued.
And finally, the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904, where the real impact went beyond the flames themselves.
Plus, a quick look at Tim Curry, whose work stands out for being just different enough to leave an impression.
It’s interesting how these moments don’t seem connected at first… but they all raise the same question—what actually defines the impact of an event?
Anyway… those are a few things that stood out as I went through April 19.
