Free brownies!

No, this isn't some nefarious April Fools prank. It just so happens that April 1st marks my


And to celebrate I'm asking my fan(s) to tell me which of the previous 199 posts were their favorite and why. Then over the next week or two I'll republish those posts, with updates if needed, and send a 2 pack of brownies to the person who chose that blog post as their favorite. You may choose as many favorites as you like, but only one package of brownies will be sent per person. And this offer expires at 11:59 PM PDT today!

Interesting days



Today - First, and far from least, it's https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/sourdough-bread-day/. I'm all set to get some fresh sourdough from the bakery today. It's also https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/reading-is-funny-day/ I always thought that reading was fun-damental. And it's https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/day-of-hope/ and https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/one-cent-day/ When I was in England (in 1976) a phone call in a phone booth cost a tuppence or 2 P as it was common to say. It was hilarious (or so we thought) that when somebody wanted to borrow money for the phone and asked "Do you have 2 P?", we said "No, I just went". OK, if you were an 20 year old guy it was funny!

Tomorrow - And another day to get children to read is https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/childrens-book-day/. Honestly, it's https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tell-a-lie-day/ And little lies may be the best. It's also https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/love-your-produce-manager-day/ Hug yours today! And yes, I did save the best for last! It's https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/peanut-butter-and-jelly-day/ Chunky or smooth? Grape, strawberry or olallieberry? If you don't know what an olallieberry is, you can ask your produce manager as you're hugging them. There was a huge debate over the existence of olallieberries, but I have it on good authority that they exist.

Next Wednesday - If you get a book from the bookmobile on how to draw birds, you can go to the zoo and draw some…maybe a toucan or an ostrich. 

May 1 - 76 trombones may have led the big parade, but today is https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/international-tuba-day/. It's also https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/school-principals-day/ Take your favorite principal to lunch today. And let's not forget https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/lei-day/ The 1st (and last time) I went to Hawaii was on this day. And it's https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/new-home-owners-day/ and https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/no-pants-day/ I kid you not! Let's not forget https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/mother-goose-day/ or https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/batman-day/ Check out this short video to find out who Batman is.
