Dracula Day
By a lot of measures, I was a pretty average parent. To date, the kid has not turned out as a start athlete or prodigy, but he’s also not a deadbeat or a convict. Much like his mother, he seems … Continue reading

Tap Dance Day
When I was in grade school, I took dance and gymnastics lessons. I don’t remember how the lessons broke down; I think it was 10 minutes of warmup, then 15 minutes each of tap, ballet, and tumbling, with shoe changes … Continue reading

Scavenger Hunt Day
Does anyone remember the book Masquerade? It came out in 1979, and it was a gorgeous book of pictures telling the story of Jack Hare carrying a treasure from the moon to the sun, but the gimmick was that if … Continue reading

Roadie Day
Most of the bands I was involved with personally were not yet high-profile enough to have roadies. Fellas carried their own guitars, stashed drum kits in their own vans, etc. (Unless you count the USC marching band, which did have … Continue reading
Rural Day
Apparently this is a Methodist thing? I’m not sure why they appropriated the idea. Rural doesn’t need a denomination, and I’ve known plenty of townie Methodists. I wouldn’t actually say that I have lived a rural life—more so small-town, suburban, … Continue reading
