Movie Theater Day

Art is the ability to convey
that we are not alone.
When I sit down next to you
in a movie theater,
we get to share each other’s point of view.
We become part of a collective soul.
That’s the magic in the movies.

~ M. Night Shyamalan

Perhaps an outing to the park is in order on this lovely spring day as we celebrate Picnic Day. What should have have on the menu? How about Zucchini Bread for National Zucchini Bread Day.

Today we put candles in a Cherry Cheesecake (for Cherry Cheesecake’s special day) and say happy birthday to film maker Michael Moore (1954), Shirley Temple (1928), and Roy Orbison (1936). I’d love to join any one of them for dinner and cheesecake.

It’s also Talk Like Shakespeare Day.  Click to see a dozen sayings we use every day without realizing Shakespeare coined the phrase.

Check out all the silly Smileys and accompanying quotes over at a Month of Smiley Silliness. They’re all different than the ones you see in the Daily Smiley. There we celebrate the start of Dance Week.
