We’ve had Awkward Piano Trio Day. We’ve had Blowin’ in the Wind Day. We’ve had Column-Buyin’. And more.

The only question is, where’s the beach?

“What are they?”
“Well, they’re nice little stands for houseplants. But if we stand around them, maybe have the pianist drape his hands over one since he doesn’t have an instrument to hold, we’ll look cool.”
