a little bit of this....
Today is the 4th day of the 49th week, the 7th day of the 12th month, the 342nd day of 2016 [with only 17 shopping days left until Christmas], and:
- International Civil Aviation Day
- Letter Writing Day

- Special Kids Day
ON THIS DAY: In 43 BC Marcus Tullius Cicero was assassinated. In 1677 Benediction and opening of the Québec Seminary In 1678 Louis Hennepin was first European to describe Niagara Falls; with Dominique La Motte de Luciere. In 1732 the Royal Opera House opened at Covent Garden, London, England. In 1842 the New York Philharmonic gave its first concert. In 1930 W1XAV in Boston, Massachusetts telecast video from the CBS radio orchestra program, The Fox Trappers, including the first television commercial in the US, an advertisement for IJ Fox Furriers, who sponsored the radio show. In 1936 Australian cricketer Jack Fingleton became the first player to score centuries in four consecutive Test innings. In 1963 instant replay made its debut during the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1965 Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras I simultaneously revoked mutual excommunications that had been in place since 1054. In 1972 Apollo 17, the last Apollo moon mission, was launched; the crew took the iconic photograph known as The Blue Marble as they leave the Earth. In 1993 a 250-year-old chestnut tree in east London was chopped down. In 1995 the Galileo spacecraft arrives at Jupiter, a little more than six years after it was launched by Space Shuttle Atlantis. In 2015 the JAXA probe Akatsuki successfully entered orbit around Venus.
Odds ‘n ends today:
What do you think is necessary for your Christmas tree? Garland or no garland – Frank and I used to alternate each year because I liked it and he didn’t. White lights, all one color, or multi-colored? And are they always on, twinkling or blinking? How do you put on the tinsel – globs, groups or one at a time [yup, my ex used to put each strand on individually. One a 8.5’ tree. One at a time.]
Dear safe driver: if I can coast uphill faster than you are driving, then even if it is raining and we are on a side street, you are an idiot. Stopping at a light with a 1 ½ car space between your front bumper and the car in front of you is also idiotic. Slamming your brakes on because the light just turned yellow is just not smart. And by the way, when the light turns green, I understand you might want to check that oncoming traffic has stopped before turning, but taking so long that you leave the person behind you with a yellow arrow is exasperating in the extreme.
Well hello there mirror! Remember how many times I told you that I didn’t want to dress like my mother? Well today when I checked myself out, I realized that I am not wearing a single solitary thing today that she would have even thought to put on her body, from underwear to glasses. Of course, that means I prolly am not dressing my age – and I don’t care.
Dear Work: I am grateful to have a job and I like the people I work with. But for the next seven business days, the only time I am even going to THINK about you all is if I happen to look at my watch – and I will smile smugly and say “they are working” and laugh.
