National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day'. Cordon Bleu is French for 'Blue Ribbon'. This Blue Ribbon dish is a thin breaded cutlet of veal, pork or chicken , wrapped around a slice of ham and a slice of cheese .
[The Hankster says ] Never had it,but I think I will do so soon. Sounds good.
Tomorrow, don't let anything get in your way, for long. It will be 'National Walk Around Things Day'.
[The Hankster says] Some things need to be done in a progression. Others can be placed by priority, necessity or convenience. It's OK to do some task-hopping if you have considered these points first. Not sure if there is an alternative called 'Run Over Things Day'.
Tomorrow is 'National Hug a Newsman Day'.
[The Hankster says] I will stick to a hand shake and a thank you. Well maybe a quick hug for Lois Lane, if her big brute of a boyfriend isn't around.
If you can't find a newspaper person tomorrow you might expend your enthusiasm on 'National School Librarian Day'.
Tomorrow is another 'Bonza Bottler Day'. Since 2005, when the month and day are the same, as on 4/4. Just a day to have a good time or party.
We made good use of our binoculars during the first quarter of this year. Get 'um out again for tomorrow's 'National Birding Day'. A day to promotes bird watching. First Saturday of April
If someone got the last order of Chicken Cordon Bleu, you couldn't get round anything, there is no one to hug or appreciate and the birds only spotted your car you may just want to take out your aggression on some one. Got you covered. tomorrow is 'Pillow Fight Day'.
[The Hankster says] Sort of an aggressive, non-aggressive release of tension.
Tomorrow is 'Vitamin C Day'. The date of the isolation/discovery of the vitamin..
I like this one. Tomorrow is 'World Rat Day'.
[The Hankster says] Rats make good pets. Kind of a grown up gerbil. Just buy yours at the pet store.
Awareness days:
- 'Every Day is Tag Day'. First Saturday of April. Promotes pet id tags and id chips.
- 'National Love Our Children Day'. First Saturday of April.
- From the website: 'National Love Our Children Day is like
Mother's and Father's Day for children and is celebrated across the U.S. This day was created to acknowledge the value of children and to educate parents on the importance of giving them love, protection and respect, the three essential elements children need to become strong and successful adults. By promoting healthy and happy children and strengthening families through the support of r nation’s communities, we can keep kids safe'.
- 'Tangible Karma Day'. First Saturday in April. An organized day of giving to others.
[The Hankster says] On this giving day you are not supposed to be shy about taking credit for acts of kindness. It's OK to let others know you care and that there is a real somebody behind the gift or act.
- 'International Day for Landmine Awareness and Assistance'. A U.N. observance since 2005.
Roger Clemens once said 'I think anything is possible if you have the mindset and the will and desire to do it and put the time in.'
[The Hankster says] Well a mindset seems to be 'the established set of attitudes held by someone'. So, if you have the right attitude, the will and the desire, you are all set to get 'er done.
But, unfortunately those first three fourths of the battle often falls short of accomplishment due to making or using time, wisely or at all.
History records both those with only good intentions and those who stayed the course. Since good intentions are only mind games for the ego, let us look at April 4 in the past and see if we can find events that were not just a good attitude, backed by a will and a desire, but also did not stop short of action.

April is:
April origin (from Wikipedia):
'The Romans gave this month the Latin name Aprilis but the derivation of
this name is uncertain. The traditional etymology is from the verb aperire,
'to open', in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin
to 'open', which is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of
(anoixis) (opening) for spring. Since some of the Roman months were named
in honor of divinities, and as April was sacred to the goddess Venus, her
Veneralia being held on the first day, it has been suggested that
April was the second month of the earliest Roman calendar, before
Ianuarius and Februarius were added by King Numa Pompilius about 700 BC.
It became the fourth month of the calendar year (the year when twelve
months are displayed in order) during the time of the decemvirs about
450 BC, when it also was given 29 days. The 30th day was added during
the reform of the calendar undertaken by Julius Caesar in the mid-40s BC,
which produced the Julian calendar.'
April
'is commonly associated with the season of spring in parts of the
Northern Hemisphere and autumn in parts of the Southern Hemisphere,
where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the
Northern Hemisphere and vice versa.'
