Hollywood, Holidays & Observances:

• World Sauntering Day ... my favorite exercise .... sauntering. It's a great day to take a leisurely stroll through the park, along the Greenway Trail, or just down Lilburn's Main Street. Tomorrow you can work off the calories consumed during the celebratory lasagna in honor of Garfield's Birthday and the cookies consumed in deference to the Oreo Cookie Day!
