Two food holidays tomorrow.

[The Hankster says] I like it fresh in a salad or boiled with a ham-hock. I have not as yet learned to squeeze a can open with my bare hands and pop the contents at one gulp. BTW, jumping on it doesn't work either. See the 1937 event.

[The Hankster says] I'll take mine inside a Snickers, please.
Tomorrow is 'Legal Assistants Day'.
[The Hankster says]In today's academy awards we noted that in the 2001 best actress category was Julia Robers for 'Erin Brockovich'. She is perhaps the best know, legal assistant of whom I am aware..
OK, I did not make this one up, although i have threaten to do so on slow days. Tomorrow is 'Make up Your Own Holiday Day '.

Leonard Bernstein once said 'To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time.'
[The Hankster says] If you want a job done well, do it yourself or give it to a busy person.Let us see who have a plan and made it work, back on March 26 in the past. Yes, I know the A-Team always did.

March is:
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.
