On an absolutely sombre note today it is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
It was on this day in 1945 that the Auschwitz camp was freed. To think about it really puts a knot in your stomach, and it's disgusting to think that the anti-maskers out there try to tie parallels to it.
On a lighter note, and one who understood 'notes', it's the birthday of Mozart.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born today in 1756 and penned tons of what was the pop music of his day. It's that music that I I know, but I don't realize I know it.
So go ahead and listen to some of his work and work in relaxation today.
And if you're relaxing, why not take some time to read with your family. It's Family Literacy Day.
I remember when we had Dean that was the one thing they had said was the best indicator of success - just read.
And while you're reading, you may find out that today was the start of the trials of the Gunpowder Plot way back in 1606.
