Just a quick note from the Commanders desk: Yes, the General is still alive and kicking. I’m just having to deal with an oily mess right now. In the meantime though, here’s a little reminder for everyone…..
Yes, today was indeed Mother’s Day. A day to celebrate all those things that mom has done for us. A day where mom get pampered and taken out to lunch or dinner. All that stuff.
But not to overlook the significant other events of May 9, let’s move over to the radar desk and see what else appears on the screen.
– For you sweet tooth dessert folks, today was also Nation Butterscotch Brownie Day.
– In honor of those of Dutch heritage, today was also National Windmill Day.
– Those of you who have a knack for all things tailoring, today was Hurray for Buttons Day.
– We’ve all seen the warnings, but the rebel in you took over…well here’s your day….it was Tear the Tags Off the Mattress Day.
And finally, this last one requires extreme solemnity, nay a full TWENTY-ONE GUN SALUTE!
Room, atten-hut!
For all those who have lost one or more of these over the years, today was:
Lost Sock Memorial Day
At Ease.
Now that mom is safely at home and resting from all the frivolity, be sure to honor the rest of these events appropriately. That’s an order soldier!
