January 20 - Some customers are cheesey, no bones about it

 Today is a bunch of American observances, just to let you know.  Canada didn't have anything I could find.

First up, I like this as it's something I like to talk about with my clients as well - it's getting to know your customers.  

The US holds "Get To Know Your Customers Day" every third Thursday in each quarter.

Interesting.

Also interesting was that yesterday I found out that 'quark' is a type of cheese, and it was World Quark Day, but then today is the US's Cheese Lovers Day.

What's your favourite kind of cheese?  I love an Abbot's Gold.  Mmm...

Speaking of cheesy, there's nothing quite so cheesy and almost cringy was the original Star Trek.  Especially the lines that Bones would always make "dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a ..." and insert whatever weird thing they were going to get into.

The actor who played Leonard "Bones" McCoy was DeForest Kelly.

He was born today in 1920, but then later passed in 1999.

January 19 - the littlest piece of the heart of an atom

 Janis Joplin had an amazing voice - it was strong with depth and a bit of harshness to it with still that feminine soul.

That soul was born today in 1943.

Like some very popular musicians, she passed away at the age of 27.

Now, if you ask me, a quark is a subatomic particle... that to be honest, I don't really understand, however in the minds of others, 'quark' or sometimes 'quarq' is a type of cheese.

Apparently today is set aside to celebrate this type of cheese.

World Quark Day is January 19th.

I still want to celebrate the mini quarks.

September 20 - The Cheese for Sports

 For anyone who's ever packed a kids' lunch, you'll know one thing that can go in as a fairly healthy snack that you'll know they'll have is a cheese string.

Well, let them celebrate in style as it's officially National String Cheese Day.

It's a great way to get some nutrition and energy, especially if you're off to play some sports!

It's also the UNESCO's International Day of University Sport.

Speaking of sport, it's also National Coaches Week... so thank a coach.

Someone who had a few good coaches I bet... Guy Lafleur.  First NHLer to score 50 goals in 6 consecutive seasons.

Guy turns 70 today.
