Ever alert for a merchandising opportunity, American industry has honored everything–human, animal,fruit, vegetable, etc., etc.–with a “Day.” There are the important “Days”–Mother’s Day,Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day–and scores of lesser “Days.” ( Christmas, of course, is the ultimate merchandising bonanza, its religious significance diminished). HG has often expressed contempt for “Days.” Nevertheless. HG always gifts BSK on Mother’s and Valentine’s Days. And, HG was grateful to be warmly remembered by son, Jeremy, and daughter, Lesley, on this Father’s Day. Obviously, HG is not consistent in HG’s “Days”criticism. It is HG’s intention to give Toby, The Wonder Dog, a special treat (plus extra belly rubs) on National Dog Day.
