Hard to believe it’s already the last day of April. It’s a bitch to get this old – the days just fly by – racing ahead to the inevitable conclusion of life. Wow, that sounds like a bummer.

It’s Taco Tuesday. Now I know that yesterday was National Nacho Day, and we didn’t have Nachos. So it seemed fitting that today, Taco Tuesday, we not have Tacos. At lease not in the traditional sense.

Today is National Navy Day, not to be confused with the US Navy’s actual birthday, which is October 13. So why is Navy Day not celebrated on the Navy’s birthday?
