I would clean up this entry, but I'm not supposed to do any TRIVIA QUIZzes!

Today is No Housework Day, no bed-making, no dishes, no trash, no guilt, sponsored by the Wellness Permission League of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Some call today Let Someone Else Clean Day. Curses, I've already made the bed today!

Today is National Coffee Cake and Caramel Popcorn Day. Oh good, that's what I'll plan to have for dinner :)

National Networking Week and National Public Health Week begin today. Thanks, corporate network, for allowing me to publish this on the Internet. Oh, what's that? Oh, THAT kind of network...ok!

On this day in 1864, to raise money for charity, the first camel race in America was held in Sacramento.

On this day in 1902, the Texas Fuel Company was founded just outside Beaumont, Texas. Later it became known as Texaco, now owned by Shell.

On this day in 1927, an audience in New York saw an image of U.S. Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover in the first successful long-distance demonstration of television. Do you think the inventors ever thought that TV would be used to show "The Moment of Truth"?


On this day in 1966, the U.S. found a hydrogen bomb it had lost off the coast of Spain. It was fine. I hate it when I misplace my firearms!

On this day in 1997, an Amsterdam university began offering a course entitled "Madonna 101." Vogue!


On this day in 1998, three inmates at New York’s Rikers prison were indicted after one smuggled a gun into the jail and another shot the third in the leg as part of a scheme to sue the city. The mastermind, as you might expect, was the guy who got shot.

And today is John Oates birthday. He's 59 today, in case his kiss is on your list..

On to the trivia! What golfer won his first Masters title on this day in 1963 at the ripe ole age of 23?

Good luck :)

Jack Nicklaus? Him being the only golfer I know besides Arnold Palmer (too old) and Tiger Woods (too young)!

Yeah, I think it's got to be Jack Nicklaus.

Hmmm, I thought I was celebrating No Housework Day by being out of town on garbage night! But somehow, I seem to have been roped into taking the trash out here in Chicago :)

Yup, it's Jack Nicklaus all right!

Kim, nice work. I'm pretty sure those are the only 3 golfers I could name as well :)

JD, yes, you have escaped trash night. I threw out three different leftover chicken dishes from the fridge. Maybe we should eat more red meat!
