I snuck away from busy-ness to catch an hour of the Pacific International Quilt Festival in Santa Clara. It continues this weekend. It is always chock full of people shopping and admiring quilts. Including me.

Punctuation Day

Posted on September 24, 2012 by piecedgoods

Did you know that today is National Punctuation Day?
Well, it is, and I nearly missed it.

In honor of Punctuation Day, here’s one of my favorite videos. Victor Borge was best known as a pianist. But did you know that he also introduced many children, myself included, to “Phonetic Punctuation” on a show called “The Electric Company“?

Should you be further inspired by today and this video, there’s a contest where you can submit your choice of the most Presidential Punctuation Mark. Go to the National Punctuation Day site for more details, and let me know if you do!
