National days

I discovered that today, January 22, is National Polka Dot day.  Don't be embarrassed if you didn't know that or if you don't actually care.  There are a number of websites that try to keep track of national this day or that day.  I was interested to find that January 16 is declared by some to be "National Nothing Day" but evidently it is meant as a day on which people DO nothing, not that it is reserved to be dedicated to nothing at all.


According to nationaldaycalendar.com, tomorrow is National Security Technician Day, so bake a pie.
