It’s the day after Memorial Day in the United States, which for many of us means a return to routine after a long weekend. In other words, it’s actually Tuesday but feels like a logical Monday, everyone is confused because municipal trash is delayed a day, and we all forgot to get school lunch makings for our kids still in school (June 12 can NOT get here soon enough at Casa Brillig). Grab a beverage and step below the Story Break to find out what ELSE today is…

According to the magic of Google search, other notable events marked on May 28th include:
What would be Ian Fleming’s 101st birthday. The preferred libation is a martini, shaken NOT stirred.
The 58th anniversary of the founding of Amnesty International.
The 5th anniversary of the death of Maya Angelou.
It is National Hamburger Day. Oddly enough, it also is National Brisket Day.
I hope everyone is preparing for tomorrow’s World Otter Day
Here’s my twist on May 28th or thereabouts holidays: here at Casa Brillig, May 28th 2019 is also…
- Switch From Flannel To Regular Sheets Day (co-celebrated with Put The Lighter Comforter On The Bed Day)
as well as
- First day of Routinely Order Iced Not Hot Coffee Season
Some holidays are regional, which is why I haven’t yet celebrated Put The Polarfleece Away Day, but we did mark Snow Shoveling Equipment & Clothing Storage Day several weeks ago.
What sort of holiday is today for you? Anything special marked now, or around this time of year? Please share yours in the comments, after perusing the Trio of Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures brought by a man who deserves every day as a holiday in his name, BeninSC!
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.

I am submitting this comment by Nova Land in my diary about our party’s 2020 intentions. He makes a case for contesting ALL the seats, where they can’t take any for granted. He has other comments worth reading there as well.
