(Editors note: Sharp readers may have noticed that Part 3 of the After Holiday Blues ran last week, upsetting the normal Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 order of things. Enjoy the final, if middle, section of Susan Rigby’s After Holiday Blues.)
Read a Road Map Day - Apr 5
I guess I will need to pre-plan this because I will need to find one of my old road maps. I will definitely read it, but may not follow it anywhere.
Lost Sock Memorial Day - May 9
I have plenty of single socks that I could use to set up a large memorial. It would be colorful enough to place on my front window sill for my neighbors to appreciate.
Talk Like Yoda Day - May 21
I will need to practice this but how fun would it be to talk like Yoda when you go to the bank or a restaurant. Even better would be to do it with unwelcome sales callers.
Put a Pillow in Your Fridge Day - May 29
I am not sure who thought this one up, but they probably live in the south. I will need to clean out my refrigerated expired food products before May 29th.
National Donut Day - June 5
I do seem to like these national food days. This is another one I might need to practice ahead of time.
World Juggling Day - Jun 20
I hope there are YouTube videos on how to Juggle because I would love to participate on this day. I took lessons years ago (yes, along with my tap dancing lessons, but that is for another day), and I need a refresher.
Typewriter Day - Jun 23
Anyone who knows me, knows that I look forward to this day all year. My friends who have to listen to me talk about typewriters, not so much.
Embrace Your Geekness Day - Jul 13
We all have a Geek side that we may not show others. This is the day to show your geekness with pride. I will probably only do it with strangers, because I don’t want to lose any more friends.
Emma Nutt Day - Sept 1
I’ll admit I had to look this one up. She was the first female telephone operator. Talk like a telephone operator every time you use your phone today.
