I’ve long since given up on fighting the trend of having a day, week or month to commemorate everything under the sun. We have talk like a pirate day, alcohol awareness week, (do we get a discount?) and all 12 slots on the calendar are taken up for somebody’s history awareness month. (Note to Congress: my dog is still waiting for basset hound awareness month.) Anyway, if we’re going to have all of these generally pointless celebrations, it’s high time that we had one that everyone can truly get behind and appreciate.
That’s why I’m asking you to join me in signing the petition to make the last week in January, National Pie Week. Come on. Who doesn’t like pie? It’s free and will only take a moment. Go sign. I think they’re up in the ten thousand range for signatures already. What number did you get?
