Goodness! How many big events can converge on one puny little Tuesday? Super Tuesday. Super Bowl Tuesday - as in, big triumphant confetti parade for the New York Giants through the streets of our fair city. And Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras.
Not enough for you? Other reasons to celebrate February 5:
- Birthday girls and boys include Hank Aaron (Go, Braves!), Charlotte Rampling, Christopher Guest, Laura Linney. And the dead ones: Adlai Stevenson, William S. Burroughs, Belle Starr, Ralph McGill.
- Verdi's "Otello" premiered at La Scala (1887).
- Phoenix, Arizona, was incorporated (1881).
- Pittsburgh Steelers won its fifth Super Bowl (2006).
So, if you don't like any of the "Tuesday" choices today, take heart. It's almost Wednesday.

Yay! Well done, Mary. I hope you enjoyed your pancakes!
You don't have 'stones' (14lbs) do you? It's all just pounds. We have to wait another 2lbs before we get a sticker - each half stone is our big milestone! ;o)
I was a good girl, Jo. Didn't have any pancakes yesterday. Sigh. No, we don't have "stones" here, so out goals are easier to reach! (I'm still waiting for that picture - )
I promise I'm thinking about a picture. My natural instinct is to hide from cameras, so you'll have to bear with me... :)
I'll wait -
