It’s February 16. 
Today is “Do a Grouch a Favor Day.”  What favor would a grouch need?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   On Sesame Street, Oscar the Grouch had a pet worm named Slimey, and he had a girlfriend named Grundgetta.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.”  --Groucho Marx (American comedian)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  curmudgeon (noun) – a fancy word for someone who is ill-tempered most of the time; it’s more often used as a synonym for an old man with this type of temperament.  Do you know any curmudgeons?
