Today we celebrate:

National Nachos Day – This cheesy chip dish can be loaded with lots of different delicious ingredients so that you can make it just the way you like it.

International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict – This day was declared in 2001 by the United Nations General Assembly for the purpose of making mankind aware that people and buildings are not the only casualties of war. The environment also suffers a great deal because of the pollution, poisoning of the soil and decimation of the forests and crops all in the name of allowing each side of the conflict to gain a military advantage.

Saxophone Day – Adolphe Sax, born on this day in 1814, invented the saxophone in 1840. A saxophone is a woodwind instrument with a single reed, and one of my favorite instruments to listen to.

National Men Make Dinner Day – This is a day for the men in the family to make dinner. There are 12 very serious rules associated with this event. The first rule is that this day is to be celebrated on the first Thursday of November. The rest of the rules can be found here: http://www.menmakedinnerday.com/rules/index.php

Marooned without a Compass Day – This is a day to test your survival skills. Can you find your way home without a compass? Can you find your way out of your driveway?


To celebrate today, have some nachos while you listen to saxophone music. Then check your backyard for war damage and try not to get lost without your compass.  Finally, enjoy the meal that the man in your life will make for your dinner.
