Yom Hashlomo Is Born

Washington D.C. - At approximately 1:07 pm on Monday May 14, 2007 at the Elephant and Castle Pub 1201 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, the day formerly known as Steve Day was renamed Yom Hashlomo. This takes the founder's once embarrassing Hebrew name and breathes new life into it. There was talk of making it a PH4H holiday or rather THE PH4H holiday. Perhaps there will be a vote on that at the next PH4H International Conference. There has been some discussion as to the late announcement of Yom Hashlomo this year. The founder only decided this past Thursday to designate May 14 as this year's date. Perhaps, future observances should be planned for the next 10 years. Also, the founder suggests that these dates be sent to major calendars manufacturers for inclusion in the standard American calendar. The founder stated, "If some calendars can include Mexican Mother's Day, they sure as hell could add Yom Hashlomo."

The second annual celebration was a big success for the founder. He made this a green Yom Hashlomo by riding Metro bus and rail to the big city. He even received a free Metrobus transfer from a random, friendly Hispanic woman who spoke to him in Spanish. That was a pleasant turn of events for him. In addition, he met with a published novelist and fellow Jackson, Michigan native at GWU, Professor Faye Moskowitz. They had been trying to meet in person for approximately 5 years so it was satisfying to finally meet and chat. The founder returned via the Metro system. He retired for a quiet evening at home. Asked about the turn of events that led to the renaming of the holiday, the founder responded, "At first I thought Yom Hashlom would be funnier because it rhymed, but you really can't beat Yom Hashlomo. I mean Shlomo is just funny."
