National Blueberry Popsicle Day

When I was a kid I loved popsicles. Even in those Summer months at work a year or so ago Carmen used to bring in a bag or a box full and we'd all partake.

I fear that one of those things my old age has caused me to forget are those various indulgences I used to find so special. I fear that it is evidence for that diminished zest for life I realized was happening around the early 80s prior to full acceptance of the dreaded 'plan b' of the career kind.

Today is National Blueberry Popsicle Day ... yet another of those 'dubious' national holidays likely undeclared by congress. This day celebrates the popsicle, that flavored ice treat on a stick of the blueberry variety.

So any way — regardless of how the day became noteworthy or why we celebrate the blueberry popsicle I hope you can embrace the joy of youth and participate in a little frivolous fun !
