So..what do you wanna do?
You could…read a book, take a ride, learn something new, go for a beer, or a walk, enjoy your favorite food, chat with a friend, get a new job….or do absolutely nothing. It’s called freedom. You have more choices than ever before, but it’s your responsibility to choose. Maybe choose something that will make the world better […]
What aren’t you celebrating?
It’s a major USA holiday today. Hmm, I ponder of the “work from home” crowd is a tad more interested in Friday’s holiday? Who doesn’t love chocolate? Thanks Google ;0)
Today is a big juicy holiday
Woohoo! It’s National Burger Day. You may ponder when this grillfest all began. Maybe at Louis’ lunch in New Haven, or by Otto Kuase in (you guessed it) Hamburg Germany…or maybe at the 1904 World’s Fair in St Louis. We now eat over a 50 BILLION a year in USA. That’s about 3 per week […]
Come on, tell me a story
Despite all of our new found drama for Memorial Day weekend, let’s remember why we even have the holiday in the US. Originally known as Decoration Day, we remembered and honored those who died in the Civil war. Memorial Day was not the “official name” until 1967. Now, we honor all fallen soldiers. There’ll be official […]
Where are most planes flying?
It’s the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the USA, you traveling? Airline traffic is up…but it’s not the airports in NYC or Atlanta, Chicago, LA or London or Dubai that are crazy. The busiest airport the last few weeks? ANC Anchorage Alaska. (because of cargo, not people) Be safe where ever you go. And if you ARE flying… remember jet […]

Today is National Pick Strawberries Day. With all the drama we presently have in our lives…we are hip deep in picking season; but you may have to pick them up at your local market. And be careful, you may have a few sharp and shifty marketing types try and take advantage of this tasty holiday. […]

Are you crunchy or smooth?
Today (3/1) is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! Maybe it started with the Aztecs. Maybe it started with Dr. Kellogg in 1896. Peanut Butter…first used as a protein food for wealthy people with no teeth. Then, PB was shown off and took of at the 1904 World’s Fair as the “All American Food”. Still loved today, […]
