Happy Sunday! Did you know today is World Penguin Day? My favorite documentary is March of the Penguins narrated by Morgan Freeman, and the movie Happy Feet always makes me want to dance and sing along with Mumble, and Mr. Poppers Penguins makes for a charming, amusing read as well as a wonderful movie. This week's odd holidays include taking time out this week to eat a pretzel or a steak, tell a story, kiss your mate, read a poem or dance by the light of the moon, to the music of a sax or trombone, while the horses race a mile and we have fun with a new hairstyle. I'm sure we can find a book theme in there somewhere. And we segue from April's world of the poetry into May's land of mystery.
Birthdays past and present: Walter De La Mare, James Fenton, Marcus Aurelius , Bernard Malamud, Jessie Fauset, Terry Pratchett, Yusef Komunyakaa, Larry Niven, and Annie Dillard.
