What holiday is today, you might hear yourself asking... yourself. Gheorghe is here for you!
I mean, we just ran right past May Day without a mention. What's May Day, you ask?
It is an ancient festival marking the first day of summer, and a current traditional spring holiday in many European cultures. Dances, singing, and cake are usually part of the festivities.
Moose out front shoulda told ya. Hope you had some dances, singing, and cake on Saturday. If not, perhaps some gambling on equine sprinting.
We don't want you to miss any more holidays! So here you go:
Today, May 3, 2021 is:
Easy enough to understand. Now some others that need a little explanation... and justifying...
- National Two Different Colored Shoes Day
- "a day to recognize and celebrate the uniqueness and diversity of humanity"
- Great Lakes Awareness Day
- "celebrates the Great Lakes and highlights the issues they face, and how the lakes can be preserved"
- National Meeting Planners Appreciation Day
- "recognizes the contribution of meeting and convention planners to tourism in their communities"
Still others you didn't know we needed, but I like...
- National Specially-Abled Pets Day
- National Public Radio Day
- World Press Freedom Day
- Wordsmith Day
- Garden Meditation Day
- "On this day, people go to their garden and leave their troubles outside of it."
Here's one that may save lives like mine:
- Melanoma Monday
- "raises awareness for melanoma and other skin cancers and encourages early detection of melanoma through self-exams"
Any reason this should ever fall on a Monday?
- Sun Day
- "Sun Day was created to promote solar power. Sun Day also serves to remind us that the Sun is vital for the life on Earth. Without its light and heat, our planet would be ice-cold and lifeless."
- Paranormal Day
- "for those fascinated with the unknown and mysterious things of the world"
- The link above tells you ways to celebrate it... other than binging on Mulder and Scully.
And then there's this. Get real...
- National Lumpy Rug Day
- "Remember when that old lumpy rug in your living room used to be smooth and comfy to walk on? Do you find yourself tripping on it now? Well, today you are in luck because National Lumpy Rug Day is a day to toss out that rug and get a new one. There can be a broader view of the day as well. It can be a day for spring cleaning in general. Not only could you replace your lumpy rug, but you could mop the floors, vacuum carpets, clean sinks and countertops, and get everything else in your house ready to go for warmer weather."
Get out there and celebrate something, people.
...but maybe not Lumpy Rug Day. Come on.

I don't remember what Lumpy's rug looks like but I will celebrate it nonetheless.
I think there's a vaccine for that now.
man, way to stomp on z's content, bigfoot
We made a deal for a post to be named later
Happy 69th birthday plus one for Christopher Cross.
And 87th for Frankie Valli.
My content will be back like cooked crack, unstomped.
Lumpy messaged me awhile back to see about getting lunch. If I catch a peek at his rug I will report back.
If only there was a restaurant that celebrated each of these holidays that we could all drink at together.
Someday, Marls, someday
Hey Mark, came across this and as a Floridian I'd be interested in your take -- and that of anyone else familiar with the state. I know that Fla. is big and diverse and nobody is capable of speaking for everybody. I'm unfamiliar with the author, but he appears to be a Polk County rouser of rabble.

Bill and Melinda Gates are getting divorced. I cannot imagine what sort of bender Bill will undertake but I'd love to be there.
I’m your +1
Watching Steph right now is amongst the most fun I’ve ever had watching basketball.
W&M’s Luke Loewe goes to Minnesota.

I did not know he is from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, which is where my beloved grandmother was from (and told me about 1,000 times).
