Let Me Know When It's Be a Billionaire Day

Tom is finding it incredibly easy to celebrate Be a Millionaire Day, but the rest of us might find it a bit more difficult. Still, if anyone would like to chip in and help me observe the holiday, I'll be happy to accept any donations!

I hope that Daria doesn't choose today to take another road trip in The Tank, because it's National Stop Nausea Day and traveling along a bumpy road in a poorly-maintained van will not be helpful in celebrating. Just remember that dry toast and tea can help but sitting on an ancient peanut butter sandwich will not.

Still, better to suffer from nausea than to get stung by a bee again, even if it is World Bee Day. I'd far rather they make honey and pollinate plants than sting anyone, and I'm sure the bees feel much the same way.
