Today is the start of:
Equal parent's week
Don't Eat Meat Week (Monday to Monday)
I gotta admit both of these strike me as... not my type of week. "Equal Parents" what does that mean? Equality between parents of the same children? Equality between all parents everywhere? And what, exactly do they mean by "equality". I want information! As for the don't eat meat week, well, Friday 25 more chickens are going to bite the dust so that we can eat meat all year. I don't think we're gonna do well celebrating them.
But, hey, I'm sure that there are those out there who will, so, it's all good.
Today is
Birthday of the Birthday Cake (In 55 B.C., the Greeks were the first to put candles on a cake celebrating someone's birthday.)
National Hot Fudge Sundae Day
A Chorus Line Birthday 1975
Merry-Go-Round Birthday 1871
Thread The Needle Day
Parent's Day (Last Sunday in July)
We need to thank the Greeks for birthday candles? That's cool. Who would have thought? And didn't we just have a Sundae day just a little while ago?
Thread the Needle Day. I love the sound of that. Not sure why, just do. Thread the needle. I guess I don't mind the lack of information in this case. Thread the Needle day, though, appeals to my imagination.
Many years ago, when our small town first introduced a public bus system for transportation (OK, "system" may be an overstatement, I think there are only two or three busses and I'm not sure if they have regular routes. I do know I can call and have them pick me up at my door... Very cool). Anyhow, the city held a contest to name the new busses. The winner: Merrill-Go-Round. (Merrill being the name of the town). I've always liked that.
