This “Date” in History – Movie Marathon Date Night

On this day in 1977, Memorial Day weekend opens with an intergalactic bang as the first of George Lucas blockbuster Star Wars movies hits American theaters.

So, get the box set of the original Star Wars Episodes, (or stream on netflix, etc.) get some popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, over-sized sodas and bundle up on the couch tonight and have a movie marathon. It will be like living, or re-living premiere night in 1977. If you choose to wear bell-bottoms, please comment and a upload a photo to ‘prove it’.

You get a Skywalker Texas Ranger Walker Walker!

This Day in History – (5/22) Make Love Not War

Call your loved one, partner, friend…tell them about this day in history!

The first battle in the 30-year War of Roses took place.

Tell him/her that, on this day, we should Make Love, Not War, to commemorate that historical data and make it one for you both to remember!

This way, you get a history lesson, a conversation starter, maybe a giggle, but perhaps, maybe, possibly, a fun night!

• Drop the Yellow Pages on the floor and see what page opens, then choose an idea (plumbing assistant?)
