Fudge Day
I wish I were better read and better traveled and could regale you with tales of Bloomsday, but you’ll need to go elsewhere for that. I struggled with Joyce and the trip to Ireland ain’t happening til the kid is … Continue reading

Foam Party Day
I have actually been to a foam party! The kid and I did a “Foam Glow” event at RFK Stadium in 2016. I occasionally get to wondering if I can still walk more than a quarter-mile without dying, and events … Continue reading

Upsy Daisy Day
Apparently this day is designated to “encourage everyone to face the day positively and to get up ‘gloriously, gratefully, and gleefully’ each morning.” Yeah… no. I can face a day positively. I can maybe manage grateful. The odds of this … Continue reading
Chocolate Ice Cream Day
People have all kinds of comfort food. Mashed potatoes, chicken soup, pancakes. Mine is chocolate ice cream. For years, my family only ate vanilla at home. We used it in milkshakes and ate it with chocolate syrup (which I would … Continue reading

Drive-In Movie Day
This is probably incorrect, but the first movie I remember seeing at a drive-in was Star Wars when I was six. I remember this partly because my mom was excited that Star Wars was making her a bunch of money … Continue reading
