No the following is not another food holiday. It is 'National Pi Day', but not the one we both hope for. On March 14, 3/14 or 3.14, we celebrate that mathematical constant.
The lepidoptera and arthropods have their awareness days tomorrow. It will be:
'National Learn About Butterflies Day'.
'Moth-er Day'.
'Save a Spider Day'.
Tomorrow you can keep the kids busy and creative. It will be 'National Children’s Craft Day'.
Tomorrow you can prove or disprove the old question 'Is there such a thing as a stupid question?', by asking the question on 'International Ask a Question Day'.
[The Hankster says] I disagree with the concept that there is not. If I trip over a toy on the steps and someone asks, 'Didn't you see that toy?', that question is stupid, even if rhetorical.
For those who don't like to carry a purse or have too much for a wallet, tomorrow has you covered, or at least the things you need to carry. tomorrow is 'International Fanny Pack Day'. Second Saturday in March.
William Butler Yeats once wrote 'The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time.'
[The Hankster says] Time marks us all for an eventual fall. A look back into history will let us see who took that fall with grace and who with bitter disappointment. A quick look back to March 14 in the past might reveal who stood upright till the end and who lays prostrate in the journal of life.

March origin (from Wikipedia):
'The name of March comes from Latin Martius, the first month of the earliest
Roman calendar. It was named for Mars, the Roman god of war who was also
regarded as a guardian of agriculture and an ancestor of the Roman people
through his sons Romulus and Remus.

'is the third month of the year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
It is one of seven months that are 31 days long. In the Northern Hemisphere,
the meteorological beginning of spring occurs on the first day of March.
The March equinox on the 20th or 21st marks the astronomical beginning of
spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the
Southern Hemisphere, where September is the seasonal equivalent of the
