October 27, 2013: Tell a Story Day celebrates oral storytelling of all kinds. It’s a day that comes to us from across the pond, thanks to our friends in the UK and Scotland. (I’d listen to any story told by someone with a Scottish accent.) It’s also Mother-in-Law Day, which comes around on the 4th Sunday in October. Sadly, that means it can never fall on Halloween for a double-dose of horror. Although I have to admit, I really like my mother-in-law. But apparently I’m the only one.

(And if your mother-in-law is too much of a drag, it’s also American Beer Day. So grab a Bud and forget all about that hag.)
