This Week is:
Promote Playful Professionalism Week
Coral Reef Awareness Week
Lyme Disease Awareness Week
Space Week
"Playful" Professionalism Week? Huh? And it's not just Playful Professionalism Week, it's PROMOTE Playful Professionalism Week. Good grief. I don't think I want my surgeon being "playful" while she should be professionally operating. It's just weird.
As I live much nearer ticks than coral reefs, I'm away of Lyme Disease all the time but am glad for the reminder to remember the beauty that is a Coral Reef. Someday I hope to see on in person.
And Space Week! Yay. I love the space program and all the stuff that comes with it. This computer doesn't have any good links to the space programs, so I'll just have to say, YAY!
Today is:
Oscar Meyer Wienermobile Birthday 1936
Perfect Family Day
Phonograph Birthday
Sidewalk Frying Day
Tony the Tiger's Birthday 1952
Cow Appreciation Day
National Ice Cream Day
National Caviar Day
Railroad Day
Sundae Sunday (Third Sunday in July)
Wow. Today is packed, isn't it. Who would have thought that the Wienermobile has been around for so long? Having lived in Madison, I've seen it around a time or two. And just think the Wienermobile is 16 years older than Tony the Tiger. And at 52 years of age, Tony is still looking Grrreeeaat! (And you all should have known that was coming).
I wish I know what Perfect Family Day was... I'm sure what ever the official definition of it there are thousands of people looking to take offense at it. Don't you love it when people can only define themselves by what they are not?
It was warm here today (and Myr got sunburn at the fair) but it wasn't near warm enough to fry anything on the sidewalk. In fact, living in northern Wisconsin doesn't give me many Sidewalk Frying Days, ever.
And it does seem fitting that it is Cow Appreciation Day, National Ice Cream Day and Sundae Sunday all on the same day. As a bit of trivia, Two Rivers Wisconsin claims to the the birthplace of the Ice Cream Sundae (although that claim is in dispute, you can read all about it here).
As for it being National Caviar Day, it doesn't rightly affect me one way or the other, as I've never eaten it nor ever had enough spare cash to want to eat it. I have eaten fish that I have caught using fish eggs as bait, but I somehow feel that it's not the same thing. My mom had Caviar once on a birthday meal that she at the Hotel del Coronado when she was visiting relatives on that island. She recommended both the caviar and the meal. She didn't stay in the Hotel del, but I think that has her recommendation, too.
My only thought on Caviar is this: It's okay to eat Caviar as long as you remember that they're fish eggs.
