rantings & ramblings
Gummi Bear Day! Begun in 2022 in celebration of Haribo’s 100th anniversary, today’s the day celebrate the chewy, colorful treats bringing joy to candy lovers everywhere. Whether you prefer red or green or anything in between, take a moment to indulge in little bites of happiness. Here’s to a sweet & delightful day!
Hug a Friend Day! Take time to wrap your arms around someone special (with consent as always) – you just might help brighten their day. Whether in person, online, or over the phone, today is the perfect day to show your friends you care. I normally don’t like lots of physical touch, but today if you need a hug you get a hug.
How big of a hug do you need today?
DNA Day honors the day in 1953 when Rosalind Franklin (along with Watson, Crick, and others) published papers in NATURE on the structure of DNA, as well as the completion in 2003 of the Human Genome Project.
However you celebrate, use caution when genetically resurrecting dinosaurs for your theme park. At the very least, spare no expense.
Noise Awareness Day – turn down the volume, put on noise-cancelling headphones, improve your health: studies say noise/noise pollution contributes to hearing loss, leading to social isolation, depression, and an increased risk of falls. We need quiet, and while we’re at it, let’s ban leaf blowers.
Go soon to a theater near you – it’s Movie Theater Day. Let’s all go to the lobby and get ourselves a treat, and as we settle into our seats there’s that indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim and we go somewhere we’ve never been before. Sit back, relax, silence your cell phones, and enjoy the summertime blockbuster or midnight cult classic with popcorn and a Coke.

It’s National Jelly Bean Day! Time to enjoy these candies in all their flavors, including one of my favorites: the black jelly bean. Do you have a favorite flavor?
