Paging Neal Sedaka

Today starts the SIXTH month of this year. I'm still working on the excuses I'm offering for not attending New Year's Eve parties that marked its beginning. I can only assume that's why Neal's "Calendar Girl" is stuck in my head. At least I hope that's why. 

June is not only bustin' out all over, it's full of events, holidays, and observances.
This is just what is happening today, never mind the other twenty-nine days:

*We here in Connecticut got a head start this year on observing this one, though NOT quite all of us if I were honest. I'm still surprised at the number of black bears in the state, especially considering the cost of living here.  

It would be appropriate, especially today, 'So meet a bear and take him out to lunch with you. And even though your friends may stop and stare. Just remember that's a bear there in the bunch with you. And they just don't come no better than a bear."
