The High Holiday

When you ask? Why of course, today! April 2nd. 4/2

All are encouraged to take the day off and celebrate.

Suggested celebrations...

• give a multiple of 42 to a charity ($4.20, $42, 420, "you pick the amout and 42 cents"; this last option is my favorite)
• eat 42 doughnuts (not suggested)
• drive 42 miles (this will take some research so that you do not go over or have to stop in the middle of nowhere do you don't go over)
• get a giant 42 tattoo on the small of your back

The possibilities are endless. It is just important to celebrate!
