what are we observing this month? october edition

on my ride to work today i saw a billboard proclaiming october to be national cyber security awareness month. i got to thinking, "i wonder how many different groups proclaim a month to be in observance of their cause." a quick search of the internets revealed that the easy answer to my query is "dozens." i decided that it might be a nice service to post on our blog a short list of some of the monthly observances. this is a touch late for october, but we will try to get them posted around the first of the month from now on. without further ado, here is a partial list of observances for october, 2007.

national communicate with your kids month
national cookie month
national "gain the inside advantage" month
international starman month
national chili month
national go on a field trip month
national sarcastic awareness month
positive attitude month
self-promotion month
talk about prescriptions month
wishbones for pets month
celebrate sun dried tomatoes month

please remember, this is only a partial list. if i have omitted any that are important to you, please leave them as a comment to the blog entry. be sure to look around november 1st for a new list.

apparently it is also anonymous threat month. a real man (or woman) would log in when posting that kind of malarkey.

Luckily National Kick Dave Hamm in the Ball month hasn't picked up much steam. Not to tempt fate, but it is already the 19th and nobody has even tried to kick me in the balls yet.

I don't know about Dave, but I'm pretty sure that it's National Kick Andrew Hamm in the Balls month. Dave kicked me in the balls and tried to punch me in the balls at Reed's wedding. Thanks Dave!
