It’s February 13. 
Today is “Get a Different Name Day.”  How would you choose a new name to go by for the rest of your life?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   In addition to Mark Twain, author Samuel Clemens used the pseudonym Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass for three humorous pieces he wrote for  the “Keokuk Post.”

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “What do we live for if not to make life easier for each other.”  --George Eliot (pen name of Mary Anne Evans)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  pseudonym (noun) – this is a fancy noun for a fictitious name, especially one used by an author: like Mark Twain or George Eliot.  If you wrote a book, what would be a great pseudonym for you to use?

Happy Friday the 13th!!!
