Observe at Your Own Risk
Today is one of the weirder holidays I’ve stumbled upon, and one that I MUST say that you observe at your own risk. Today is Hug Your Boss Day. Insert your own joke here. If you wind up in HR it’s not my fault.

End of an Era
As we all know by now, Queen Elizabeth passed away this past week at the age of 96. It’s not shocking when someone that advanced in years passes, it’s kind of expected. But this one felt different. She had been the queen 20 years longer than I have been alive. She is the only British monarch most of planet Earth… Read more »
Happy Labor Day
Faithful Friday 8-11
Lazy Day
Today is a great day to do ……………. NOTHING! Today is Lazy Day. A day to remember to slow down, smell the roses, and enjoy the little pleasures in life. What else needs to be said?

Dive Bar Day

National Selfie Day
If there was ever a holiday that shows how much things have changed since I was a kid, it’s this one. Today is National Selfie Day. Oh sure, we tried taking the occasional selfie back in the day of film cameras. But we had NO idea of they would turn out until we finished the roll and got the pictures… Read more »
