There’s a lot happening on February 27, 2020. Let’s jump right into it. It’s National Kahlua Day. It’s also National Chili Day, National Protein Day, National Strawberry Day, National Retro Day and No-Brainer Day. Since I’m into the Big Labowski, and Dudeism in general, having a White Russian on Kahlua Day is a No-Brainer. Now to history. On this date in 1814 Ludwig van Beethoven’s 8th Symphony in F premieres. I tell you this to give you a quote from Beethoven who lead an unhappy life, was deaf but created music which will be played as long as humanity survives. He said, “Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.” In 1919 American Association for Hard of Hearing forms in New York City. I’ll bet there was a lot of yelling and repeated questions at their first convention. In 1959 Boston Celtic guard Bob Cousy sets NBA record with 28 assists Boston Celtics score 173 points against Minneapolis Lakers. This was before the 3 point shot. Wow. In1974 “People” magazine begins sales. This is the birthday (1902) of John Steinbeck who wrote the Grapes of Wrath. He said, “Man is the only kind of varmint sets his own trap, baits it, then steps in it.” This is also the day in 2003 that Mr. Rodgers died at the age of 74. Fred said, “To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.” Now it’s time for me to start my brand new day. I’ve never been here before and never will again. I suggest a White Russian around 5 this afternoon. Abide
