It’s May 16. 
Today is “Wear Purple for Peace Day.”  Are you celebrating
with what you chose to wear today?

Trivial Fact of the Day:  Egypt’s Cleopatra made it very well known that her favorite color was purple, and the actress most famous for playing her on film—Elizabeth Taylor—was famous for having rare, purple eyes.  Coincidence?

Interesting Quote of the Day: “When people say, 'She's got everything,'I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow.” –Elizabeth Taylor (American actress)

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  eclectic (adjective) – this word describes a collection of people or things that shows a great variety of different elements. You can have a very eclectic collection of music, or a diverse group of friends can be labeled this too.

 

Journal Day. Do you know about music in space? What about a music video in space?
