My west coast brother correctly guessed that our Pet Rock's name DRIOMB does indeed stand for Don't Run Into Our Mail Box. Since I didn't receive any guesses from anyone else he is the winner which entitles him to bragging rights. I'm not sure who he might want to brag to about this but there's always his cat Ace.
In the same text he informed me that today is "National Ampersand Day" sometimes considered the 27th letter of our alphabet. You must admit it's very handy & easy to type & cute & curvy. Its one possible shortcoming is that it makes it much too easy to create run-on sentences & we all know from our high school grammar classes & the constant reminders by our teachers & the frequent red marks on our essays & the admonition to rewrite what we thought was our greatest prose & the sad realization that much of this happened long before we had the luxury of typing on a computer & the fact that I must stop this silliness and go to bed soon & that I can't think of anything else to write about, I have come to the end of this sentence.
Just in case this wasn't exciting enough & you were hoping to celebrate something else, it is also "National Date Nut Bread Day" & "National Pledge of Allegiance Day" & "Senior Citizens Day" & we celebrated our day with one cookie each before bed time & that's all folks.
