Beware of Falling
Bird Poop Day
Just as the bird sings
or the butterfly soars,
because it is their natural characteristic,
so the artist works.
~ Alma Gluck
A big happy birthday goes out to Bert of Sesame Street. Hopefully Ernie gets him some nice new paperclips. Hey, Bert and Ernie, beware of falling bird poop (after all they live near a very, very big bird). And of course, all of Bert’s pigeon friends.
Today we also say happy birthday to a whole bunch of folks: Mick Jagger (1943), Sandra Bullock (1964), Kevin Spacey (1959), Helen Mirren (1945), and Viviane Vance (1909). Of these 5, who’s your favorite? Oh and also, happy birthday to New York State, official one of the United States in 1788.
It’s also Take Your Dog to Work Day. I’m getting suspicious the dogs have some kind of inside help; isn’t this like the 3rd time we’ve celebrated that one already this year?
Then there’s Thread a Needle Day. Really? That’s a holiday? Better find my reading glasses before I try celebrating that one. Either find my glasses or find one of my kids to do it for old mom. Come to think of it, if there can be a holiday for bird poop, then why not one for thread.

Plus as is often the case, just for grins, you get a different Bird Poop Smiley in the Smiley-a-Day emailer and yet another on the monthly calendar of Smileys.
