We could share factoids we’ve read, advice from personal experience, observations about the world, what-have-you. Everyone learns something new every day, and I’d like a place to share.

MuseBlog has been celebrating Towel Day since 2006. This year, with the threat of the Vogon demolition crew a recent memory, seems particularly auspicious. Have a good one, froods!

The Illumiminati (let’s skip those distracting interior capital letters for now) were founded a hair over two years ago and are still going strong. Well, not exactly strong — sneakily, stealthily, subtly, sibilantly. In any case, we think their efforts are needed more than ever before, so we’re giving them a new thread in the here and now.

Today (Saturday, May 7), the poet and Muse writer Nancy Kangas* has accompanied Planet Earth on an integral number of revolutions around the sun.

Hap, Nak!
