You're probably thinking this is just an ordinary Sunday, the first day of a pretty ordinary month, October. You think October is mostly a month of pumpkins, falling leaves and, ultimately, Halloween. Within the month of October, various special-interest groups have staked out individual days, too. Not only is today National Homemade Cookies Day, it's World Vegetarian Day, a favorite among livestock everywhere. Fortunately, you can celebrate both days simultaneously by simply substituting prune whip for butter in your cookie recipes.
Tomorrow is a big day, too.
For starters, it marks the 50th anniversary of the Peanuts comic strip, enough reason to jump out of bed and cheer all by itself. I'm not too clear on exactly what we're supposed to do on Name Your Car Day, since no instructions were included on the list. Personally, while I have called my car any number of names, almost none of which can be printed in the newspaper, it never occurred to me to devote an entire day to the effort. So maybe it would be more fun if we all switched up and named each other's cars instead. Astonishingly, this is not yet a national holiday, despite everything the man has done to save the sanity of American mothers.
