          2. National Blue Shirt Day—celebrating not the Democratic Party but rather those wearing blue shirts to protest bullying; ironic for businesses the biggest bully on the block is the EPA headed by the biggest of the Blues, President Obama. 
           3. 1956 Number One Song—celebrating the number one song in 1956 on a run of 11 weeks in that position Don’t Be Cruel by the King, Elvis Presley.  Here is a link to Elvis Presley performing Don’t Be Cruel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViMF510wqWA

           5.  Clothes Make The Man And The Woman Day—celebrating the birthday on this day in 1983 of Nicky Hilton the younger sister of Paris Hilton who has unlike her has managed to not get arrested for DUIs but rather create a clothing line.

Reflections on the Red Moon over the Earth: “The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'.” Dan Rather Most of us can name a teacher who was the guiding light to move us to a higher plane or who was the beacon to steer us from the reefs we needed to avoid.
