“Sometimes Serious, Always Wacky”
Friday, May 20th, 2016
141 days have lapsed and there are 225 days left.
What’s Wacky Today?
Today is Be a Millionaire
Day, National Ride your Bike to Work Day and Pick Strawberries Day. When you
are a millionaire you probably won’t be “going to work” and someone else will
be picking your strawberries. Of course there are plenty of millionaire entrepreneurs
and they can get to “work” any way they want, and “work” for them is more like a
“hobby that pays” because they love it so much. Even though I’m not a
millionaire yet, I already have someone else picking my strawberries because I
buy them at a big box store and am grateful for those who do pick them and the
truckers who get them to the store for my convenience. Do something today that
a millionaire would do today; in preparation maybe in becoming a millionaire.
Give a bigger tip after a meal today, donate more, work half a day, have a
coffee at the most expensive hotel in your town, look at some nice cars and
houses. Then let us know in the comments how you acted like a millionaire
today.

This week is:
National Police Week, and it’s almost
over. If you’ve not done something nice for a police person (we really should
every week of the year) go ahead and do so. If they resist having you pay for their
coffee or lunch when you see them at a restaurant (if you can’t do so
anonymously) tell them you are doing so because it is National Police Week.
Next week will be: Emergency Medical Services Week.
QUOTE OF THE DAY:
A lot of
times when you're young and carefree, you don't realize, when you tip over the
edge, how difficult it is to climb back in. Joe Cocker
Tip big (like a millionaire)
but don’t go over the edge (per Joe’s quote).
Make it a “wacky” day!
