Books and Beans

Barbecued Lima Beans
According to some people who spend too much time online, today is Book Lovers's Day, when you should find a quiet corner and read a good book, since no one ever deliberately curls up with a bad book. Of course, your boss will be tickled that you're taking the day off! In fact, tomorrow is Lazy Day, so why not just knock off for the week?
(You might choose a book on finding a new job.) In addition to reading your book, it's suggested that you consider having barbecued Lima beans for supper. I would consider that very carefully. The plate shown at the right looks to me like a potential weapon and should probably be labeled as hazardous material. Tomorrow's Lazy Day celebration could turn into Heartburn Day or something even worse.
I won't be celebrating Book Lover's Day this year. There are, to my knowledge no days dedicated to the things I do most frequently. I could get behind a movement to have Clean The Dryer Vent Day or Remove Toxic Food From The Refrigerator Day.
Once I tried observing "Opposite Day," as proposed by the innovative genius, Squidward Tentacles, neighbor of Spongebob Squarepants. Instead of breakfast, I had supper. Instead of cleaning the house I threw mud everywhere. But I couldn't keep up, I got confused by stuffing mail back into our mailbox and throwing old newspapers at the paper boy.
Try it sometime.
