20th Anniversary

Today is my twentieth anniversary. On January 30th, 1989, at about 3:00 a.m. I was born. It was the 20th anniversary that day of the Beatles famous 'Rooftop Concert' recording session for the album "Let it Be". Interesting that they would become my favourite band of all time, eh?
Anyway, I took the weekend off posting in order to give myself a break from things for this, my 20th anniversary, and am post-dating this back to the date/time you see there at the bottom of the post.

January 30th - Croissant Day

HOW I CELEBRATED

I had a few croissants today to eat, one with breakfast, one in sandwich form at lunch and one in the evening at the coffee shop.

HOW OTHERS MIGHT CELEBRATE

It's a food-related holiday, the rest should be self-evident.

HISTORICAL/CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

Croissants come from France. These food ones are as arbitrary as the other made-up holidays.

UNOFFICIAL THEME SONG

Check back on a day that it actually matters.
