Today Is National Eat Ice Cream For Breakfast Day

Admit it, you've had something unusual for breakfast besides eggs and bacon. I've had cold pizza, microwaved pizza and more for breakfast, but I've never had ice cream. Today is the day to change that though, as it's national "eat ice cream for breakfast' day. Vanilla bean sounds good.

Today is also a lot of other things, too. Here's more. - Alan
