Not Letting Us Grow UpWanting to Stay SegregatedTired of TryingWalking (60miles)Going Everyday
VERSEš OF THE DAY:
OLD TESTAMENT:Anyone born of woman is short of days and full of trouble.(Job 14:1)NEW TESTAMENT:They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; for they did not love their lives to the point of death.(Revelation 12:11)
WäLKING CHäLLENGE:
The goal this month is to walk at least 60 miles. My mission is to do this within the next twenty days. I hope to do at least 20 of those six miles along the Elizabeth River Trail. The first being tomorrow. beginning at the pagoda park walking east towards Harbor Park, and back.
MUSICAL ARTIST OF THE WEEK:
When I think about hearing, and being heard; I think about the creative space. These are those whose music may never get featured in your favorite hold music rotation. It may never get played in your local store, or eating establishment, but they have a lot to say about life. This week we focus on KTWIST FM3…
And Finally… WHAT DAY IT IS..
April 1st is the 91st day in the Gregorian calendar; it marks the anniversary of the ending of the Spanish Civil War and the creation of the United States Air Force Academy. Famous April 1st birthdays include Debbie Reynolds, Rachel Maddow, David Oyelowo, Taran Killam, and Logan Paul. April 1st also marks
April Fools’ Day….
There’s no consensus on how it all began, but a popular theory is that while nowadays, January 1 is when we start the new year, this wasn’t the case before 1592. We used a calendar called the Julian calendar – created by Julius Caesar in 45 BC – which saw every new year begin on April 1! Crazy, we know.
Pope Gregory the 8th created a new method for keeping track of days, which was the start of the calendar we all know and love – the Gregorian calendar. When he moved the date of New Year’s Eve it obviously took some time for everyone to catch on to it. Those who were a bit behind the times still celebrated on April 1, and were considered fools for doing so.
One lesser known, often argued explanation for our beloved prank day is buried in a 1392 book called “The Canterbury Tales” by Geoffrey Chaucer. One line in this publication simply references “March 32”, and the debate to its meaning was born. Without much context and being dated so far back, the interpretation remains a mystery. Some believe it to be a joke, dawning this annual tradition, while some say it’s none other than a misprint.
Whether we have Gregory the 8th or Geoffrey Chaucer to thank for April Fools’ Day, it has existed for centuries and will continue to cause a flurry of creativity and excitement in the first few weeks of spring.
