Fast Food Day
If you are a cardiologist you may not be very happy about this, but today is Fast Food Day. Fast food as we know it was born from the rise in car ownership and the need of those car owners to eat quickly and cheaply while out and about. These restaurants started popping up after WWI but the concept really exploded… Read more »
Election Day
Today is Election Day here in the United States. Many of you have already voted, but if you haven’t please do. It is your responsibility as an American citizen. It is our most precious responsibility and our right as citizens of this great nation to participate in the process of choosing our leaders. And yes, the presidential election has been… Read more »
National Sandwich Day
Today is National Sandwich day. I am all about food so I’m pumped about this one. When we think of sandwiches we usually grilled cheese or PB&J. But, there are lots of other options as well. Subs, pitas, gyros, and tacos are just a few of other types of meat between pieces of carbohydrate to be enjoyed. And today, many… Read more »
Information Overload Day
Today is Information Overload day- Here is a day we can all understand and rally around! A group of tech companies started this day to draw focus to the constant pressure we are all under to be connected all the time, and to remind us that we all need to unplug once in a while and just exist in the… Read more »
Vodka Day!!
Today is Vodka Day! I personally celebrated this for several days in July during my vacation in Las Vegas, but I digress….. No one really seems to know how the day was started or why it’s on October 4th. But who cares! Have a screwdriver, or a vodka sour, or a vodka lemonade, or any other vodka cocktail you desire… Read more »
For the Love of the Game
We are 2 weeks into my favorite season- football season! I’m an NFL junkie. I’m a fantasy football league commissioner, I’m in a suicide/ pick ’em pool with a group of friends, and a long-suffering Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings fan. I just love it and have since I was in college and interested in a guy who watched… Read more »
Collect Rocks Day
Today is National Collect Rocks day. This day holds a special place in my heart as my Granny Marquardt was a rock enthusiast. Her basement was full of shelves and bags and boxes rocks from all over the United States. They pretty much all looked like to me, but to her each one had a (usually very long) story that… Read more »
A Strange One
Today is International Strange Music Day. This day was created by Patrick Grant, a musician from New York City and is named after a song he wrote called, oddly enough, Strange Music. The idea is to expose yourself to, and perhaps even perform, strange music. What’s strange? Well, you can take it one of two ways- #1 Music that’s foreign… Read more »
Mentioning the Unmentionables
Today is National Underwear Day. I cannot make this stuff up. Every year in New York City a flash mob is organized to celebrate this wonderful day and this year there will be one in New Orleans as well. While it might be too late to hop on a plane for this year’s events you can always start planning for… Read more »
