A Normal Week ???

Finally, a normal week . . . whatever a normal week is.  I say normal because there were no holidays this week.  I was havin serious problems figgerin out what day it was.  Seemed like a Saturday or a Sunday all the time.  

There won't be any scarcity of holidays in the next few weeks.  January 23 is 'Measure Your Feet Day.'  February 13 is 'Get A Different Name Day.'  I guess this is a good time to change your name if you hate the one you have.  March 14 is 'Pi Day.'  That is always a big one for Math teachers.  April has a couple of big ones.  The 25th is 'World Penguin Day' and the 30th is 'National Honesty Day.'  June 6 is 'National Yo-Yo Day.'  July 19 is 'Stick Out Your Tongue Day.'  That one could get you in trouble if you go overboard celebrating it.  Then in August on the 20th it is 'World Mosquito Day.'  'National Cheese Day' is celebrated on September 20.  October has a couple good one.  'Homemade Cookies Day on the 1st and 'National Grouch Day' is on the 15th.  'Take A Hike Day' is on November 17 and 'National Cocoa Day' is on December 13.  Just a few reasons to celebrate and party if you need an excuse.  

Read an article on the Consumer Electronics show goin on in Las Vegas this week.  Someone has come up with an iPotty.  It is a potty chair that allows parents to attach in iPad to it.  Makes sense to me.  Not many little kids that age can read . . . and anything that starts with the letter 'i' is bound to sell . . .  

Then there is the 'Hapifork.'  It is a fork with a motion sensor in the handle that will vibrate when you are eating too fast.  I bet Mayor Bloomberg will require everyone in New York City to use one.  I mean, why expect anyone to think or take responsibility for themselves???

I'm pretty sure that the good Mayor will outlaw this one.  It is an eye sensing tv.  An on-screen cursor is supposed to appear where viewer looks.  Blinkin while controlling the cursor is supposed to result in a click that changes the channel.  I guess it would have some value.  Gives those thumbs a break from clickin the remote, so they can spend more time texting . . .  

I'm just reporting about what I read in the newspaper this week.
