April Fool’s Day
It's April Fool's Day, which, for me, means it's the day when I receive requests by the media to pontificate about the history of foolish things. You can read some of my most recent musings in USA Today:Should you still celebrate April Fools' Day amid coronavirus?
I'll also be on Midnight in the Desert Radio tonight (Art Bell's old show), from 9-11 pm (PST).

National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month
The month of April has been set aside to celebrate a variety of random things. For instance, April is simultaneously:- National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month
- National Frog Month
- National Straw Hat Month
- Brussels Sprouts and Cabbage Month
- National Facial Protection Month
- STD Awareness Month
- National Welding Month
- National Kite Month
- National Fresh Celery Month
In the 1990s, Pepsi tried to get people to think of April as "Uh Huh Month," but that failed to stick.
