National Bavarian Crepes Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Bavarian Crepes Day'.
[The Hankster says] 'The main difference between this variation and the classic French crepe is that the batter is use right away rather than letting it rest before using'. Doesn't really matter to me. I like any food that you can stuff with good things and put more good things on top.
You have been waiting for this one. Tomorrow will is 'National Goof Off Day'.
[The Hankster says] There is no reference as to who started this holiday. That is a shame, since we all have such a debt of gratitude to pay him/her. I won't bother to suggest any activities. I'm sure we can all wing this one, if not repeat it.
Tomorrow's 'As Young As You Feel Day' may be a companion day.
[The Hankster says] If you do something silly, tomorrow, you can charge it to feeling young, and the rest of the world can look at it as goofing off. Either way, you are safe for a day. Remember age is a number and not a condition.
Samuel Ullman once said 'You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.'
Awareness days tomorrow.
- 'World Water Day'. U.N. day since 1992. 'focuses attention on the development and conservation of freshwater sources and the management of them.'
- 'International Day of the Seal'. Enacted by Congress in 1982, 'to bring attention to the cruelty of hunting these animals'
Charles M. Schulz once said 'I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time.'
[The Hankster says] Well, I can certainly understand this attitude from Charlie Brown. After all the rocks he got in his Halloween bag and all the footballs that Lucy pulled away at the last moment, that put him on his backside. I however prefer his K-9 friends 'can do' attitude. If we look back at March 22 in the past, we may have the opportunity to see which attitude prevailed. Of course, if we are still indecisive and if 'The Doctor is In', Lucy may solve our dilemma for a mere 5 cents.
In 1857, The first department store elevator for passengers was installed at E.V. Haughwout and Co. in New York City.
In 1941, Jimmy Stewart is inducted into the Army, becoming the first major American movie star to wear a military uniform in World War II.
[The Hankster says] He did not spend his career entertaining the troupes. He had a very notable career in the Army Air Forces (not yet the US Air Foce).

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.
'
March
'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
Northern Hemisphere's March.
