National Pineapple Upside-down Cake
Day – This is a fun cake to make but somehow I never manage to
make it without it breaking somehow when I flip it over to get it out
of the pan.
Look Alike Day – Did you know
that you look just like Jennifer Aniston? Really, I swear! I think
everyone looks like someone else. I found someone in Texas years ago
that looked just like my sister. No one else thought so, but she
really did!
Volunteer Recognition Day –
This is a day to honor the thousands and thousands of volunteers who
spend so much of their time helping others in a myriad of ways every
day.
Auctioneers Day – A day to
reflect on one of the oldest professions in history and to celebrate
its' future. Today we have online and in person auctions to
participate in, maybe in a hundred or so years we will be able to
participate holographically.
Husband Appreciation Day –
Celebrated on the third Saturday of April, this is a day to
appreciate your husband if you have one. Do something nice for him
today, be extra sweet and maybe make his favorite dinner.
Record Store Day – Also
celebrated on the third Saturday of April, this day was created in
2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don
Van Cleave, and Brian Poehner to celebrate the art of music. This
day is recognized world wide with musical artists of all kinds
participating in special appearances, performances, meeting fans, and
special releases of CDs.
Spring Astronomy Day – Begun
in 1973 by Doug Berger, President of the Astronomical Association of
Northern California. The original plan was to set up telescopes in
urban locations so people who did not normally get to spend much time
looking at the stars could do so on this special day. This day is
now sponsored by a variety of astronomical groups and is a day for
interaction between regular people and astronomy enthusiasts.
International Marconi Day – At
first glance, I thought this was Macaroni Day too, but it is most
definitely not. Born on April 25, 1874, Guglielmo Marconi
played an enormous role in the invention of wireless telegraphy. In
other words, we have radio capability because of him. We celebrate
his birthday on a Saturday close to his birthday with amateur radio
events going on all over the world.
To celebrate today, keep your ham radio
on all day so you don't miss anything. Then volunteer to make a
pineapple upside down cake for your husband to enjoy while he looks
at the stars through the telescope you found for him at an auction,
and listens to his favorite music. You are sure that is your
husband, right? You never know, it could be a look alike who is
impersonating him to get a piece of cake.
