Day 296 - just another Monday

 Today is the 2nd day of the 43rd week, the 23rd day of the 10th month, the 296th day of 2023, and:

• Event Organizers Day
• National Boston Cream Pie Day - very hard to find these days, and still my very favorite kind of pie
• National Canning Day
• National Croc Day
• National Horror Movie Day
• National iPod Day 
• National Mole Day
• National Slap Your Irritating Co-Worker Day = tempting, except I might be that person, neh?
• Paralegal Day
• Swallows Depart from San Juan Capistrano Day - winter is coming
• TV Talk Show Host day
• and Voyager 1 is 22h 27m 18s of light travel time from Earth

Quote of the day:

"A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose"

~ Gertrude Stein, American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector

Nothing like stating the obvious, neh?  Of course one could get into the different kinds of roses - and start arguments about why portulaca are called "Mexican roses" - but let's not go there today

I thought it was as good a summation of a busy Monday as any.
