Winnie-the-Pooh is turning 90 years old on August 21st, can you believe it? In celebration, the New York Public Library—where Pooh and his pals Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet and Kanga reside—invite you to give Pooh a card via their magical mailbox. They write: "we have a mailbox at the Children’s Center at 42nd Street and are accepting cards on Winnie’s behalf. After all, the original Winnie-the-Pooh doll set is at the Library, on view in the Children’s Center, in a special room surrounded by art of the 100 Acre Wood!" (You can even make the birthday bear a customized card.)

Pete Seeger Celebrates 90
Yesterday the legendary Pete Seeger celebrated 90 years on this earth with an intimate gathering of friends at Madison Square Garden. You know, just the typical birthday party with a guest list that included Arlo Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, John Mellencamp, Oscar the Grouch, Tim Robbins, his son, and many many more (51 all in all). Even Barack Obama sent a greeting to the singer, praising him for voicing "the hopes and dreams of everyday people," reports the NY Times. The grand finale included “This Land Is Your Land,” a song he sang at the President's inauguration, with everyone (including his 95-year-old brother) on stage to sing along.
