SUNFUN
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2024
It is three days from Valentine's Day, Ash Wednesday, and Lent. It is unusual for these two to be on the same day. The next time is 2029 (only five years away) - and the next time after that is in the next century!!! Valentine’s Day is always on February 14th - and can very from Sunday to Saturday. Ash Wednesday relates to the time of Easter (the first Sunday after the Spring Equinox).
February is also National Heart Month; last week was National Wear Red Day. Take care of your heart - exercise, and diet are “heart healthy”.
The Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs is today. Are you having a party or going to a party? I’m working at Wesleyan Skilled Nursing until maybe half-time. I’m invited to two parties - but I might just go home and relax.
Super Bowl is a big event for food - get your gear ready for your party. (And don’t drink and drive)
Have you noticed the sun is staying up later? Six weeks until the Spring Equinox on March 19th.
April 8th is the next (total) eclipse - and Texas is on the line for best viewing. Media says, “Totality can last twice as long as in 2017, depending on the observer's location. It's also set to be the longest totality on land for over a decade, so expect eclipse-chasers worldwide to visit the path of totality. As a bonus, the sun's corona is expected to be huge during totality.

NATIONAL DAYS
Chinese New Year - Saturday, February 10th
If you wondered what was going on yesterday, you’ll find that 20% of the Earth’s population was celebrating the Chinese New Year — using more fireworks than any other day of the year. It’s a celebration with good food, red envelopes, and blessings for everyone. It now is the “Year of the Dragon”. (Or the “Red Dragon”).
National Visit a Shut-In Day - Sunday, February 11th
Do visit a shut-in (sometime). Maybe before the Super Bowl game.
