TRIVIA QUIZ, come on down!!
Today is National Paint a Pumpkin Day. Those pumpkin growers: always trying to extend the pumpkin season!
Today is National Indian Pudding Day. OK, I don't even know what that is.
Today is National Young Readers Day, a time to remind Americans of the joys and importance of reading to children.
On this day in 1940, Walt Disney released the movie Fantasia, and it bombed. In 1967 he released it again, and it was a hit.
On this day in 1952, the first press-on fingernails were sold in the U.S. Ah, Lee Press-On Nails: they were on just about every episode of The Price Is Right ($1.99 suggested retail price).
On this day in 1961, The Tokens released "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." And on this day in 2007, I put that song in your head :)
So, how about some Fill In The Blanks? On November 13, 1789, Ben Franklin wrote "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except [blank] and [blank]."
Good luck :)

Also, I think the success of Fantasia in the 60's is directly related to the fact that more people were dropping acid while watching it!
Yup, it's death and taxes!
I'd like to add to that list of sure things:
1) I, too, have been practicing that piece at about half that speed
and
2) Indian pudding sounds yummy! Any recipe with that many forms of sugar can't be bad!
