There are more than a few worthy holidays coming up in the next few days – Mother’s Day, Victory over Europe Day, Clean Up Your Room Day, Eat What You Want Day, and Frog Jumping Day to name but a few. I figure most are holidays that we are either a. well aware of, or b. capable of finding appropriate ways to celebrate. While I feel compelled to remind you not to forget Mom today, I … Read entire article »

Let’s start this week off with a little music, courtesy of National Play Your Ukulele Day on May 2. Many of you may remember Tiny Tim’s famous Tiptoe Through the Tulips. But in my most humble opinion, Jake Shimabukuro has raised the bar for ukulele players to a whole new level. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this holiday. Things fall apart rapidly, though, on May 3, which just happens to be National … Read entire article »

To say this week starts off slow is an understatement at best. National Hanging Out Day falls on April 19, followed by National Pot Smokers Day on the 20th. Note, if you will, that both of these are national holidays. Geez. And we wonder where our entitlement society came from… OK, before I spiral up to my soapbox, we better move on. If you can hold out until the end of the week, we have several holidays … Read entire article »

Crank up the music and let’s get this week’s holidays started with Eight-Track Tape Day, which is April 11. I remember the eight-track player I had – a canary yellow square with a t-handle that changed the music from track to track when you pushed down on it, as if you were setting off dynamite. Seems like there were usually four songs per track, and 4 tracks per tape, which totals 16 by my calculations, leaving … Read entire article »

Today, of course, is Easter. Since it is a well-known holiday, we’re not going to focus on it, and instead move on to other holidays you may not be familiar with. Tell a Lie Day is April 4, as well. Doesn’t seem right to celebrate that one – especially as it lands on Easter, this year. If you can’t resist and must tell a lie, April 6 would be the perfect day to make amends, since … Read entire article »

My favorite potato chips would have to be the classic Lays with homemade French onion dip on the side. Grippo’s makes a mean barbecued chip that ranks right up there, though. Heck, I’m pretty partial to the homemade variety, too – probably because of the excessive salt and grease. I mention this because March 14 is National Potato Chip Day. Since the day falls on Sunday this year, it would be a great time to throw a … Read entire article »

Please remain calm on March 9. Trust me, the sky isn’t falling. It is, however, Panic Day. I tend to panic enough as it is. So let’s skip over this little jewel. On March 10, we celebrate Middle Name Pride Day. I’m for nixing this holiday, too – never really liked my middle name (Dawne – don’t forget the ‘e’ on the end, please). Sorry, Mom and Dad. Luckily, I never use my middle name. Next up, … Read entire article »

Remember when you were little and you ventured into your grandparents’ attic to look for treasures? There was something quite comforting about seeing all the old quilts and dishes and knickknacks. I could’ve stayed up there for hours on end, sifting through all that old stuff. I’m not sure that’s what the originators of this holiday had in mind, but nevertheless, March 2 is Old Stuff Day – the perfect time to get in your grandparents’, … Read entire article »

Wow! Are we having fun yet? I trust all of you did your party to ward off winter yesterday, hoodie-hooin’ everywhere you went. The weather will be the judge of how well you performed, of course. For the love of Mike, I sure hope you did well. I say that because Feb. 22 is For the Love of Mike Day. Please don’t ask who Mike is. The best I can do is tell you of a … Read entire article »

By now, most of you have probably come to the realization that there is never a dull moment where holidays and celebrations are concerned. This week is no exception. So put down that heart-shaped box of chocolates and let’s get to it. February 17 is Champion Crab Race Day - a holiday right up my alley. I love crabs – king crab, snow crab, blue crab, even imitation crab. I’ve had pet hermit crabs. And sometimes, I … Read entire article »
