rantings & ramblings
Lumberjack Day! Channel your inner Paul Bunyan — grab your axe, chop some wood, and maybe sing a song while you’re at it. Whether in traditional plaid flannel or something hi-vis and reinforced with Kevlar, let’s celebrate those who keep the woodpiles piled!
Hey, Mickey: turn the beat around and play that funky music; it’s One Hit Wonder Day! Don’t worry, be happy; whip it round and round in Funkytown. Take on me and rock me, Amadeus – I’m gonna be unbelievable. 99 Luftballons? She blinded be with science? We’re not gonna take it. Whoomp (there it is)!
Festival of Lastest Novelties – Put on a helicopter beanie and Groucho glasses; settle into an inflatable chair, taking a pull on your bubble pipe; let Big Mouth Billy Bass serenade you questioning a magic 8-ball about your pet rock – but don’t let chattering teeth get stuck in the silly putty!
What’s your latest novelty?
Since 2019, September 23rd is Za’atar Day. Za’atar is a blend used in Middle East cuisine containing herbs like thyme, oregano, & marjoram along with other spices including sesame, sumac, & cumin or coriander. Za’atar also happens to be the name of my Paladin’s camel mount in our legacy D&D game!
First Day of Autumn, Autumnal Equinox, Mabon, or even Hobbit Day – whatever you call it, today marks the first day of the best season of the year. May it be a blessed one for everyone! I’m planning to make some baked apples and enjoy some spiced cider to get into the spirit – how about you?
Today is Gratitude Day. What are you grateful for? I’ll start with three Ps:
