My sources tell me we have no official observances to celebrate on September 20. For those of us who try to find something to celebrate every day (the stranger the better) this leaves a great, gaping hole in our observational year. In honor of this, and in the interest of helping others, permit me to introduce today’s
Thursday 13 Observances You Could Celebrate Today
1. Reverse Global Warming Appreciation Day. (With ‘reverse’ modifying either ‘global warming’ – because it’s raining here – or ‘appreciation.’)
2. More Coffee Day. (Granted, we do this one every day.)
3. Sleep Is For The Weak Day (A natural corollary of #2)
4. Talk to a Plant Day (But you have to supply your own factory)
5. Share the Cookies Day (Observance deleted for inappropriate content. -Ed.)
6. Read a Book by the Fire Day (The first rainstorm of the season is a terrible thing to waste)
8. Learn to Count Day (Statistically, 47% of you got that. Another 14% will get it in approximately 2 minutes.)
9. Dress Like a Mime Day (Followed tomorrow by “Enjoy the Hospital Day”)
10. Give the Cat a Bite Day (Are you eating? The cat wants a bite. Go ahead and bite him.)
11. Telemarketer Annoyance Day (The man of the house? Oh yes, he’s right here. He’s two…)
12. Lose the Other Sock Day (Ever notice you only lose one? Lose the other one. You’ll feel better.)
13. Catapult a Solicitor For Peace Day (Is that a trebuchet I see before me?)

I am trying to celebrate all of them except for #7 which is “do nothing day”. I linked to you from 13 PETA Poses

13 Peta Poses…
Herewith, for your viewing pleasure are 13 images of protesters who have bared it all in their effort to convince you to stop wearing fur, eating meat or fish, and torturing animals. …

Nice, Bernie. A+ for being the first to locate and decipher the elusive #7.

Can’t do #2. I gave up coffee on July 1st and haven’t had a drop since. Not hard to do; just quit drinking it and feel better! I wasn’t a coffee-holic anyway, so it never bothered me to give it up.

I’ve been off for a good while and you can see what has been happening in my part of the world.

Oh, gosh! I never noticed you were missing #7! Is my eyesight going? And, I just wrote an article about getting old or growing up. LOL!

Missing #7 is the point of #8. Heh. I’d feel clever and original, but I think I’ve done something along those lines on about 1/3 of my Thursday 13s. I’d like to say that’s because I’m just smart that way, but the truth is sometimes I just can’t come up with more than twelve…
