more special days...

 Today is "National Lemon Cupcake Day" and "International Tea Day." Doesn't that sound like a delicious combination.  Sadly I don't have any cupcakes, lemon or otherwise, but I do regularly drink British blend tea so that should count.  But, in addition to deliciousness, this day also contains drama.  It's "Cat Herders Day."  Now I'm not sure if this is a day celebrating people who herd cats (good luck with that) or cats who herd something.  There are wonderful dogs who herd sheep, cattle, goats and who knows what else, but I've never actually heard of cats herding anything.  What would they herd?  Other cats? Tiny little dogs? Mice? Turtles? That last seems about their speed.  Cats I have know (I'm talking domestic cats here) generally don't seem to want to expend much energy at all, although hearing the sound of a can opener can be a motivator.  But I must say watching our director work with the 14 very lively kids in our cast, does give me a very good idea of what herding cats would look like.
