How can we best celebrate Dec 5th? Let us be glad and rejoice in it.
Annual Day of the Ninja
Prepare for the Annual Day of the Ninja. Forget 'Talk Like a Pirate' Day. This will truly be our chance to show the world what ninja are made of.
Every year, December 5th is the Day of the Ninja. Plague your co-workers with ninja-ness and wear a ninja mask to work! Got the day off? Run wild in the streets, or dress like a ninja at the mall! Just show the world that YOU ARE NINJA!
We want you to help me take over the Internet on that day. LiveJournal posts about ninja. YouTube videos. Ninja links on all your websites. Photos of yourself wearing ninja outfits. Whatever. Go Ninja crazy. www.dayoftheninja.com/…
We have lots of great volunteers in The Village!!!
And at DK in general!
Congrats to all. Let 2019 be another banner year of volunteering!
Volunteers Build RESILIENT Communities!
International Volunteer Day (IVD) 2018, “Volunteers build Resilient Communities”, recognizes volunteers worldwide – with
a special focus on local community volunteers – who contribute to making their communities more resilient against natural disasters, economic stresses and political shocks. The campaign theme combines the recognition of volunteers with concrete evidence from the State of the World's Volunteerism Report (SWVR) 2018.
#IVD2018 focuses on the values of volunteerism through the appreciation of local volunteers, including the marginalized groups and women, who make up nearly 60 per cent of volunteers worldwide, and their impact on building #ResilientCommunities.

Bathtub Party Day
How to observe—
Invite over some friends and take turns taking a bath. As the creators of the day seem to imply, you could also take a bath with
your friends. Perhaps you have a significant other you would be more comfortable having a bathtub party free-standing. There are plenty of ways to make your bathtub party the best bathtub party in town. Here are a few ideas:
- Fill your bath with bubbles, essential oils, or epsom salts.
- Light some candles.
- Have wine or other beverages available.
- Put on some music.
- Have some bathtub toys available, such as rubber duckies or

Celebrate Repeal Day
Repeal Day celebrates the day that brought the Twenty-first
Amendment into effect, after the final state needed to ratify it did so. The amendment repealed the Eighteenth Amendment, which had prohibited the production, transportation, and sale of alcohol. Although December 5 has long since been known as "repeal day," it was not officially celebrated as such until mixologist, bartender, and writer Jeffrey Morgenthaler shared his idea for the day in 2006...

One Serious Note—
Final thoughts on
George H W Bush—
Good people can do bad things.
Bad people can do a good deed.
We are complex.
But how does a “kinder, gentler” President use a Willie Horton ad to win? www.vox.com/...
He doesn’t. If you will do anything to win, what constrains you once you’ve won?
Compared to an indecent man like Trump, Bush was a 1000 Points of Light.
Compared to decent man, like Obama, Bush lies alone in the dark.
I really am swamped at work with a 3 day test of skills (and speed reading.)
Will drop in mid-afternoon, if I can. Enjoy.
