Well, the great organ playing competition is over for another two years, prizes have been awarded and my guest came in third, out of three. They were all excellent, but in his defense, this was his first competition ever, and each of the other two had competed many times. The music was interesting, some traditional, Bach, and some contemporary. My favorite piece, played by the winner, was "Mephisto Waltz" by Franz Liszt; very moody and exciting. So, in this case, I do agree the best person won.
On another subject my west coast brother tells me that today is "Brothers and Sisters Day." So all you brothers and sisters out there give your siblings a big hug, actual of virtual. I'm sure there's an emoji for that. On the other hand, if you don't happen to have a brother or sister today is also "Make Up Your Own Holiday Day." Some possibilities come to mind, such as "Kissin' Cousins Day," "Spoiled Only Child Day," or "Eat Your Cheese Cake Day." I added that last one because we were served cheesecake at supper tonight after the competition. I will leave it to you to come up with your own special day. Feel free to share. That's how these special days get started.
