Thesaurus Day – Peter Roget was born on this day in 1779. He created (authored, composed, devised, fathered, invented, made) Roget's Thesaurus, which I still use (employ, utilize) periodically (occasionally, sporadically).

National Winnie the Pooh Day – AA Milne, the creator of Winnie the Pooh was born on this day in 1882. I wonder if he knew that he shared a birthday with Peter Roget.

International Fetish Day – I have absolutely nothing to say about this.

To celebrate (consecrate, dedicate, honor, observe, glorify, exalt) today, try reading (perusing, studying) the thesaurus to the Winnie The Pooh bear you know you have around somewhere.
