I'm coming out

I had no idea such a holiday existed until I saw it this morning on the Wikipedia home page, but today is National Coming Out Day. If you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered, and the gaydar of everyone around you is hopelessly malfunctioning, today would be an opportune time to 'fess up.

In honor of this event, I would like to state here and now, publicly, and for the record, that I am a heterosexual.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I also had no idea, again until I saw it on Wikipedia, that today is General Pulaski Memorial Day. According to the notation, this observance honors the death of General Kazimierz Pulaski, a Polish-born Revolutionary War hero killed during the Siege of Savannah on October 11, 1779. Apparently, General Pulaski Memorial Day is to Polish-Americans what St. Patrick's Day is to Irish-Americans, or Columbus Day to Italian-Americans, or Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to African-Americans.

In honor of this event, I would like to state here and now, publicly, and for the record, that I enjoy a good Polish sausage now and then.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
