Blueberry Pancake Day
A table, a chair,
a bowl of fruit
and a violin;
what else does a man need
to be happy?
~ Albert Einstein
Over on a month full of Smiley Silliness it’s Daisy Day. This one’s got to be another for below the Equator. Here in the northern hemisphere it’s winter and definitely not daisy time. But our weather has gone wacky over the last several years–global climate change had me able to drive in my convertible with the top down today!! We need some winter weather!
Today we say happy birthday to Ernie from Sesame Street. Good old Ernie. Have you ever had trouble telling the difference between Bert and Ernie? Here’s the way to know, it’s Bert like a bernana (long and yellow) and Ernie like an erange (round and orange). You needn’t thank me. As a peddler of silliness, I’ve got you covered.
We also send birthday wishes to Nick Carter (1980) of the Backstreet Boys. Another celebrating Carter is Beyonce’s Blue Ivy Carter (2012). Then there’s Nicholas Cage (1964), Katie Couric (1957), Kenny Logins (1948), and Zora Neale Hurston (1891).
It is also Have Fun at Work Day. Perhaps if you brought a kazoo to work to celebrate Kazoo Day you could kill 2 birds with 1 stone (There has to be a kinder expression than this. Maybe you could pet 2 kitties with 1 hand.).
BTW, the Smileys and holidays on a month full of Smiley Silliness are all different than the ones you see here on the website’s Daily Smiley.
