Watch Out for Dogs and Bees
Like yesterday's special day, Simply Remember Your Favorite Things Day is another seemingly obvious nod to The Sound of Music.
Or is it?
Who's to say that, when they invented this day, that they were literally thinking of that musical? Couldn't they have been pondering Christmas or birthdays or anniversaries? With a fair amount of greed thrown in?
Or maybe "things" doesn't even refer to physical things. Maybe it's all about metaphysical things. Or imaginary things. Or imaginary numbers.
Your favorite things could be songs or colors or ideals. Things you can see but can't really touch.
To properly celebrate this day, I think it says in the fine print that you have to post about it on Facebook. Hopefully Facebook will be around for many years to come then.
If it's not, there will probably be something suitable that we can replace it with, but it just won't be the same special day.
Sad day.
