Data Innovation Day – This day
is to celebrate information and make you aware of the benefits that
will come to you if you increase your use of information and your
efficiency in getting the information that you need. The day will be
full of panel discussions, webinars and something called
“hackathons”.
National Pie Day – According
to some sources, this is to be celebrated on December 1st.
I cannot determine which date is the correct one but the majority of
the sites seem to consider it to be today. Whether it is today or
not, you really can't go wrong by having a nice piece of pie today
anyway.
National Rhubarb Pie Day – Well,
if you're going to have to have pie today, you might as well have
rhubarb pie and celebrate two days in one. Rhubarb is delicious in a
pie especially if you mix it into a custard pie or with strawberries.
I never really think of buying it in January, it's more of a June
food here in the northeast.
National Handwriting Day –
Celebrated on John Hancock's 276th birthday, this is a day
to focus on your writing skills and how readable they are. Do you
write sloppily so that no one can read it or do you write so tiny
that people need a magnifying glass? Maybe you write with big loopy
letters? What does your handwriting say about you? Today is the day
to find out.
Measure Your Feet Day – Do any
of us really know how big our feet are? I know that mine are larger
than they were before I had children. I've heard that our feet
continue to grow after the rest of us has stopped so I'd always
assumed that old people have really big feet. But now that I'm
approaching old age (according to my children), I've noticed that my
feet are not as huge as I figured they would be so maybe feet don't
keep growing after all.
Snowplow Mailbox Hockey Day – This
is a day for snowplow drivers to have some fun. Plowing roads is a
lot of hard work with long hours during snowstorms and we depend upon
them to keep our roads clear so that we can use them whenever we want
or need to. So for all the snowplow drivers out there, today is a
day for you to see how many mailboxes you can whack today.
Women's Healthy Weight Day –
Celebrated on the Thursday of
the third full week of January, this is a day to celebrate the fact
that there is a different healthy weight for everyone. So today we
honor women of all shapes and sizes who strive to be a healthy weight
no matter what that number on the scale happens to be.
To celebrate today, measure your feet
and write down your size in your best handwriting so you don't forget
when you go shopping for shoes. Then use the internet data available
to find out what your healthy weight should be and toast the
information with a piece of rhubarb pie. Finally, if it's snowing,
watch the snowplow people play hockey with your mailbox.
