National Prime Rib Day – Are you a beef lover? Well, then, today is your day. Have some prime rib for dinner tonight.
Babe Ruth Day – Proclaimed by Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler, this was a day to support Babe Ruth during his fight against cancer and it has endured, particularly with the Yankees, ever since.
Tell A Story Day – Today is a day for stories, and by happy coincidence, it just so happens that kids love stories. Tell your kids a story today. You don't even need to go to the trouble of reading it out of a book, try making one up. Maybe a story about when you were a kid or some other kind of completely made up story. If you really get ambitious, you could even write it down for them so they can read it again and again. You may find events celebrating this day at your local Library.
Mantanzas Mule Day – On this day in 1898, during the Spanish-American War, the U.S. Navy bombarded a village in Cuba named Mantanzas. They hit it with everything they had. I'm sure it was impressive for its' time considering how long ago it was. When it was over and the villagers looked for dead bodies, they discovered that the entire village suffered a casualty count of...1 mule.
Morse Code Day – On this day in 1791, Samuel Morse was born. He, of course, created the Morse code which was used regularly to pass telegraph messages for many years and is probably still used today in certain circumstances. Most everyone knows at least some Morse code, even if it’s just the code for SOS( . . . _ _ _ . . .).
Take Our Daughters & Sons To Work Day – For twenty-one years now the goal of this day has been to help strengthen the connections between work and education and the relationships between parents and their children. The theme for this year’s celebration is, “Count on Me.” This day is primarily for children between 8 and 18 years old.
Poem In Your Pocket Day – Celebrated on the last Thursday in April, this is yet another day to celebrate poetry, this time you need to take a poem you like and keep it in your pocket today so you can pull it out and read it whenever you feel the urge.
