It’s March 21. 
Today is “Memory Day.”  I forgot why we should be celebrating that…

 

Trivial Fact of the Day:   Phone numbers became seven digits long in 1947 because that is the maximum number most people can hold in their short term memories.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.”  --Khalil Gibran (Lebanese-American poet)

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  reminiscence (noun) – this hard-to-spell synonym can stand for two specific nouns : 1) a story about the past that’s being told by a narrator or 2) the enjoyable recollection of past events.  When your family gathers, who excels at reminiscence, and who does a terrible job re-telling family stories?

Happy Friday!!!
