Today, according to my west coast brother is "International Coq Au Vin Day." This does sound delicious. Who doesn't love chicken pieces and vegetables stewed in a wine sauce? My spouse, that's who. He is not a chicken eater so I won't be whipping up Coq Au Vin for dinner.
What my WCB forgot to mention is that today is also "National Biscuit Day." My spouse will definitely eat biscuits, especially with butter and honey. It's also "Paperclip Day" and "Learn About Composting Day."
I think we have some inadvertent composting going on right now in our back yard. An amazing amount of seed shells and other debris is accumulating under our bird feeder. Based on observation, I blame most of it on the Blue Jay. He is beautiful but he is not neat.
I am happy to learn that it's "Paperclip Day." I have a great fondness for paperclips and they should be celebrated. Ever since I've had desks, and I have had them since childhood, I have had an ample supply of paperclips. I admit that I am a bit of a paperclip hoarder. I will pick them up off the floor anywhere I happen to be. Some people pick up coins, I pick up paperclips. I do not, however, make paperclip chains. I like them individually, not in tangled clumps.
But seriously, today should be "Samuel B. Fay Day." He invented the paper clip in 1867. Sadly, unlike coins, paperclips aren't dated, so I have no way of knowing if I have any valuable antique paperclips in my collection.
