If you see people around with towels today, it’s because they are fans of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and they are paying tribute to Douglas Adams. Adam was the first I heard talking about it. And this morning, I myself was asked to take a picture. Seems lots of people are getting in on the fun.
Towel Day
It’s Gonna Hit the Zeitgeist
I’ve been here at work writing reports and listening to Tenacious D, and I’ve been thinking, “DAYUM, I love this guy. Jack Black is amazing.” And just then, my little Bloglines light lit up, and I was delightfully directed by Best Week Ever to this clip from this morning’s episode of Ellen:
Peru & The Galapagos Islands: Abby Wades In!
Well, right now, my friends know more about my parents’ trip to Peru and the Galapagos Islands than I do, and so I’ve decided to start at the very beginning. I hear that’s a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A, B, C. When you read Dad’s blog about the trip, you begin right here. Veronica has been reading about the trip with her kids (very educational - she’s such a good mom), and I’ve suggested the same to Linda with her knowledge-sponge of a son, Joey.
And so my latest quest to be a good daughter begins NOW! Baby steps, and I’ll get there. I welcome you to join me. First, Peru!
After that, it’s a lesson in Darwin, then on to the Galapagos!
