National Molasses Bar Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Molasses Bar Day'.
[The Hankster says]] Molasses is pretty good stuff, when you consider it is the dark sticky left overs of refining sugar cane or beats to make pretty white granulated sugar. One of my favorite flavors and there is most likely molasses in every breakfast bar you eat.
Tomorrow are the 'Grammy Awards'.
Guys, grab your handbook. tomorrow is 'National Boy Scouts day'. 'Boy Scouts of America was incorporated in 1910 by William Dickson Boyce.
[The Hankster says] I was only a Cub Scout, myself. Oh, and you girls have to wait until March 12.
Tomorrow is 'Opera Day'. See 1735 in the events below.
[The Hankster says] I learned to appreciate Opera by listening to the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts on radio, while taking long walks, Like some, don't like others. On the radio broadcasts they reveal what will happen in the next scene, which helps to understand what is going on. Some of the singers are interviewed at mid-intermission. Guess what, they laugh, tell jokes and except for their extraordinary talent, seem to be regular people
Tomorrow being the Sunday closest to Valentine's Day, it will be 'World Marriage Day'.
[The Hankster says] Even if you don't renew your vows in a ceremony, grab your honey and let them know how please you are of the decision you made to marry them.

[The Hankster says] Get out the paper, balsa wood sticks and twine, (metal keys optional) and git 'er done. And,no, I don't know why a cold day in February was chosen.
Fun and wealth tomorrow It will be 'Laugh and Get Rich Day'.
[The Hankster says] Laughter may not put money in pocket, but it will put riches in your heart.
With Valentine's Day coming up soon, tomorrow we have a conformation that it takes two to tango. Tomorrow being the Sunday before Valentine's Day, it will be 'Man Day'.
[The Hankster says] Ladies, you can start accumulating Valentine's Day points now.
We have an awareness day in Great Britain tomorrow. It will be 'Autism Sunday' on the second Sunday of February.
Confucius once said 'Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.'

February origin (from Wikipedia):
'The Roman month Februarius was named after the Latin term
februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual
Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman
calendar. January and February were the last two months to
be added to the Roman calendar, since the Romans originally
considered winter a monthless period. They were added by
Numa Pompilius about 713 BC. February remained the last month
of the calendar year until the time of the decemvirs (c. 450 BC),
when it became the second month. At certain intervals February
was truncated to 23 or 24 days, and a 27-day intercalary month,
Intercalaris, was inserted immediately after February to realign
the year with the seasons.
Under the reforms that instituted the Julian calendar, Intercalaris
was abolished, leap years occurred regularly every fourth year,
and in leap years February gained a 29th day. Thereafter, it
remained the second month of the calendar year, meaning the
order that months are displayed (January, February, March,
..., December) within a year-at-a-glance calendar. Even during
the Middle Ages, when the numbered Anno Domini year began
on March 25 or December 25, the second month was February
whenever all twelve months were displayed in order. The
Gregorian calendar reforms made slight changes to the system
for determining which years were leap years and thus contained
a 29-day February.'
February is the second month of the year in the Julian and
Gregorian calendars. It is the shortest month and the only month
with fewer than 30 days. The month has 28 days in common years
or 29 days in leap years.
February is the third month of meteorological winter in the
Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, February
is the third month of summer (the seasonal equivalent of August
in the Northern Hemisphere, in meteorological reckoning).
