Micah 6:8
Ecclesiastes 1:1-8
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today we again enter Black History Month. One assumes it's February because 01 February 1865 was when President Abraham Lincoln signed the resolution proposing the 13th Amendment - to ban slavery in these United States. It certainly can't be because it's the shortest month of the year, can it? Sorry, I've wondered that for a long time.
Today is also a celebration of two distantly related things: Hula and dark chocolate. Yes, it's Hula In The Coola Day as well as National Dark Chocolate Day. I imagine having a luau in the snow would be a great way to combine these celebrations. Imagine a raucous hula dance - complete with spinning, flaming torches - and a plate of dark-chocolate poi. Ohana!
(I also note that in an attempt to "stick it to the kahuna," today is also National Baked Alaska Day - those Alaskans can't let the Hawaiians have all the fun today, it would seem!)
Today's sad commemoration is of the death of Buster Keaton on 01 February 1966. I really would not suggest reenacting any of his movie stunts in memoriam, unless it's running on a treadmill to echo his part in the fabulous "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum."
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
