Please note, all, that July is also Anti-Boredom month. Do something interesting every day.

Today, July 5th also represents the following:

• 2nd day of 'Be Nice To New Jersey' week [July 4th-10th]
• 1st day of 'Nude Recreation Week' [July 5th-11th]
• Wood Pellet BBQA Introduction Day

Just a heads-up on tomorrow:
July 6th is 'Take Your Webmaster to Lunch' day.

[Mustafa]

1) Find a Webmaster
2) Take him/her to lunch

and as always use your imagination, that's what it's there for.
