I'm behind, but I'm going to catch up.
Today is:
Pony Express Day
I love the lore of the Pony Express. It existed for just over a year before the telegraph put it out of business, but it's one of the most enduring legends of the Old West. I'm an old west fan, anyhow. Cowboys, Indian lore, cattle drives, long distance trail rides, mountain men... they are all full of the archetypical heroes, anti-heroes and villains that I love. I think I need to go read some Louis L'Amour now. Oddly enough, I find that the "hard boiled detective" also is close to the cowboy archetype. Which is why I am currently in love with Dresden. Even picked up the books. Heh. In the books he wears a dark duster and nice hat. Wins me over every time.
Tweed Day
Actually, I have no opinion on tweed. Except that I only think of Kilts when I think of it. Other than that, nothing.
Don't Go to Work Unless it's Fun Day
Work isn't often fun, but I always have fun at work. However, I go to work because I need a job, not because I love it. Which may be a problem. But if it is, it's only a small one, because I don't hate what I do. I'm easy that way.

Your Dresden thingy is quite cute.
