Boy Scout Anniversary Day –
Founded on this day in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America is one of the
largest youth organizations in the United States with several million
members and volunteers. I know for sure that today would be a good
day to be a Boy Scout because meetings all over the country will
feature a big birthday cake.
Laugh And Get Rich Day – The
laugh portion of this day needs no explanation. The get rich part
does. Apparently, happy people who laugh a lot are more productive
people at work and hence, make more money for the company (and for
themselves if they work on commission) and if the company does well,
the people who work for it do well. People who laugh are also more
inclined to remember things and to switch jobs less often than people
who do not laugh. So go to work and laugh it up! Did you know that
some comedians work as humor consultants for large companies?
Opera Day – I couldn't find
the origins of this day, but it doesn't matter. If you like opera,
today would be a great day to go see one. If you don't like opera,
nothing in the world would drag you to see one no matter what day it
is.
National Kite Flying Day –
Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height! I don't know about
flying kites in February, but if it's windy enough, I guess it
couldn't hurt to give it a try. Assuming you can find a place to run
where the snow isn't too deep. Good luck with that one in my area.
If you live in the south where it's warmer...maybe...it might be
easier. If not, just watch Mary Poppins and sing along with
the “Let's
Go Fly A Kite” song at the end.
National Molasses Bar Day – I
use molasses in my baking fairly frequently. Molasses is a sticky
syrup that is much like honey in consistency. It is made from
sugarcane, carob, grapes, dates, pomegranates or mulberries. It is
something that can be used to sweeten food like cookies, cakes, and
now, molasses bars.
To celebrate today, fly a kite with the
boy scouts while listening to opera music, eating molasses bars and
laughing like a lunatic.
