Today was Inauguration Day. My spouse and I watched the news coverage of the event for several hours. Regardless of your political persuasion, it was a chance to watch the peaceful transfer of power played out as it has been in our country for over 200 years, with pomp, ceremony, peace and civility.
Today was also MLK day, a day to honor a great man who died too soon.
On a less serious note (thank you to my west coast brother) today is Penguin Awareness Day. My husband and I are very aware of penguins because we hope to see many on our upcoming cruise.
It is also National Cheese Lovers Day. We would have celebrated with some of my husband's fabulous toasted cheese sandwiches, but, alas, the electric frying pan is hidden in the muddle of stuff removed from our kitchen for the remodel, which you have already heard about. So we ate cold cheese sandwiches.
And finally, today is Take a Walk Outdoors Day. Since the temperature early this morning was minus one degree (it eventually got all the way up to ten degrees) we decided not to walk outside, at least not for long. My wonder spouse did put the garbage and recycling bins out. The high tomorrow is supposed to be six degrees. We won't even talk about the wind chill. The only walk outside will probably be bringing those pesky bins back in again.
Tomorrow should be Honor the Garbage Persons Day.
