“Always Wacky; Sometimes Serious” Print This Page
Wednesday, May 25th, 2016
146 days have lapsed and there are 220
days left.
What’s Trending Today?
'The Voice'
season ends with big win for Alisan Porter — and a 1st for the show!
Army Vetarrested on own property.
What’s Wacky Today?
Today is
National Wine Day and Tap Dance Day; or tap dance while drinking wine day if
you want to celebrate both simultaneously (I just wanted to see if I could
spell simult… whatever). I hope my marketing clients are taking advantage of
both of these holidays in their promotions! Since the holiday falls on a
weekday, maybe there will be something this weekend. With social media like
Facebook you could announce something for Saturday; it’s not too late!!!
Heads Up for Tomorrow: Sally Ride Day; more to follow on
that one!
