selected along with the factoids and quote from Jim McKay with a smile on your
sunscreened face, a positive attitude
and a bowl of coffee ice cream at your
finger tips, secure in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for a
memorable event, you know that the Alaskanpoet can provide you with a unique
customized poem tailored to the event and the recipient.
1. National Grandparents Day-- honoring those great spoilers of
grandchildren and trusted babysitters--grandparents.
2. Grandma Moses Day—celebrating
the birthday on this day in 1860 and accomplishments of Anna Moses who started
painting at the ripe young age of 76 and created over 1,000 paintings, at least
25 of which were painted after her 100th birthday, living proof
until her death at 101 that you are never too old to try something new.
3. Google Commemoration Day—celebrating the
creation of Google in 1996—hard to imagine a world without Google
today.
4. Salami
Day-–celebrating a great snack and pizza topping.

Acorn Squash Day—celebrating one of America’s homegrown treats.

Reflections
on Google: The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason
that we were able to develop a search engine, the web was so open. Once you
get too many rules, that will stifle innovation.” Sergey Brin, co-founder of
Google
