Video Game Day
Video games have reached an all-time high in popularity with their wide variety and special effects. A long way from a joystick plugged into the television, today's video games span all kinds of themes and appeal to almost everyone.
Not just for kids anymore, video games have become a popular activity at parties. On college campuses all over the world, students crowd around televisions in dorm rooms and frat houses, battling their friends in adventure, sports and music themed games. While the most popular consoles of today are XBox, Playstation and Nintendo Wii, experienced gamers remember the glory days of N64, Gameboys and Sega Genesis.
Celebrate Video Game Day by inviting some friends over to have a video game competition of your own on this special holiday!
Today is also Chocolate with Almonds Day

"Stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot oftener, swim more rivers, laugh more, and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along." --Robert J. Hastings
