The Grateful Dead play their last concert on this day in 1995
Celebrate You with…
Next, we celebrate a cheeky event with NATIONAL DIMPLES DAY. Brought to us by Dimpuls, this day is about that cute crevice that appears on smiling faces and lower backs. This is the second year for this event, and we are encouraged to show them off.
Today’s Fashion Trends
FASHION DAY started coming around in 2016 and encourages us to make a statement with our choice of apparel. Whether you want to be a trendsetter, be yourself or just be kooky – go for it. I am fine with my jeans, t-shirts, and suspenders.
Our Furry Friends
COW APPRECIATION DAY is brought us by the fine folks at Chick-Fil-A. We can definitely appreciate these beautiful bovines for the milk and meat they give us – and – if you walk into a Chick-Fil-A today, dressed as one, you get a free meal. “EAT MOR CHIKIN”
On Today’s Menu…
Our dessert of the day is certainly sweet. NATIONAL SUGAR COOKIE DAY takes a simple recipe and brings a tasty treat to life. Sugar, butter, eggs, flour, vanilla, and baking powder are all you need to whip up a batch and enjoy.

Happy Birthday to…
Elias Howe (1819-1867)
Gave us the sewing machine
Percy Spencer (1894-1970)
Gave us the microwave
Brian Dennehy (1938-2020)
Powerful actor with a big screen presence
Richard Roundtree (1942- )
He will forever be known as “Shaft”
Dean Koontz (1945- )
He can write some scary stuff
Jimmy Smits (1955- )
From playing a drug dealer on Running Scared (1986) to a lawyer on LA Law (1986-1992) to a detective on NYPD Blue (1994-2004) and finally a district attorney with a penchant for murder on Dexter (2008) this actor always brings the passion to his craft.
Tom Hanks (1956- )
What can’t this man do? I don’t think he has ever made a bad picture (Bosom Buddies doesn’t count – it was an 80’s sitcom)
Fred Savage (1976- )
He gave us his best Wonder Years (1988-1993)
Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.” Exodus 34:5-7
Enjoy the day and make it your own
