Thoughts on the Day (3/25 & 3/26)
Mar. 26th, 2007 11:03 pmYesterday was:
National Day of Celebration of Greek & American Democracy
Old New Years Day
in AD 525, Dionysius Exiguus set the start of the Julian calendar at March 25 to commemorate the Annunciation of Jesus. Dates, like time, are all arbitrary. It doesn't matter when the world marks the start of a year or even the day. Living where I do, I like having the new year at the coldest part of the winter.
Pecan Day
Pecan's aren't my favorite nut, however, I do love pecan pie. My dad makes a great pecan pie. It is a pie that you need to make for a group. It's just too sweet and rich to have more than one piece every other day or so. It would be best, I suppose, to buy just a single piece but boughten pecan pie just doesn't taste very good. I think I'll have to ask my dad to make one.
Waffle Day
I have never been to a Waffle House. I hear it's a Southern thing, kinda like donut shops in Canada. I like waffles well enough, but while Supper Clubs and bars that serve killer fish frys are a Wisconsin thing, Waffle Houses aren't. I guess I'll have to make my own waffles for Waffle Day.
Today is
Legal Assistants Day
I keep thinking that this is "Legal Assistance Day". I actually took classes in paralegal stuff. Naturally, I didn't do anything with it. Story of my life, really -- no follow through. Now, though all I want to do is watch "If Looks Could Kill". That non sequitur makes complete sense, and if you can figure out why, you win a prize.
Make Up Your Own Holiday Day
Oh... Lets see, I want to make a "Get rid of all idiots Day". Unfortunately, I'm always afraid that I am enough of an idiot some days that I would be affected. And not in a good way.
Spinach Festival Day
Oh! Popeye's favorite day. I wonder where the Spinach Festival is being held. It's got to be somewhere south because, quite frankly, it is way to early to have any kind of growing festival up hear in the northland. I like spinach well enough, but I've been known to enjoy festivals without liking the thing that the festival is celebrating. Festivals are fun.
