Because it’s important
This Friday is 11/11, also known as National Corduroy day. It’s been declared National Corduroy day because 11/11 looks like the wales in corduroy fabric.
No, I’m not kidding. If you don’t believe me, check out The Corduroy Club Web Site’s Grandest Event Announcement.
I found out about this a year ago, when the television show Sunday Morning had a feature about the 11/11/10 celebration. I was enchanted. I couldn’t help myself. Pure whimsy is so very hard to come by these days. It’s usually tinted with a touch of sarcasm or irony. But here was whimsical at its very best.
I’m only sorry I won’t be attending. I need more whimsy in my life. I got a bit of it Sunday night when I got to see “Puss ‘N Boots” in 3D in an IMAX theater, but that was pure spectator/no participation. It’s been a long, long time since I actually did anything whimsical.
HAIL THE WALE!
I think I could pull of the three items of corduroy without too much trouble. Though the colors might jar a bit.
Love the stuff myselfâ¦.
