DayStrider: Tales from a Time Traveler

November 27th is a day that celebrates many wonderful treasures! Sometimes, these gems are like the gift that keeps on giving, while others are out there taunting us to come take hold! Make time to explore the richness that occurred on this day in history:

• The “birth” of a wonderful American Thanksgiving tradition,
• The “birth” of an enlightening and inspiring annual institution, and
• The discovery of the greatest sunken treasure / shipwreck of all time.

If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, make time to learn a little more about today by listening to some fun, engaging stories. AND, if you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (and we’ve made it easy to find them with some Amazon links down below).
If you’d like to know more about the Parade or the Prize, you can get “official” here (these links worked in late 2023 - not sure how long they will remain available):

• Find out about the upcoming Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
• Find out more about the Nobel Prize and past winners

Gift ideas for folks who celebrate November 27th for any reason:

• There are several coffee table books celebrating the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with pictures and stories
• Keeping with the book theme, there are books by folks who have won the Nobel Prize and then others by folks who did not.
• Last book suggestion, I promise! There’s books about the San Jose that are fascinating!
• November 27th is Bavarian Cream Pie Day - but making that cream filling can be challenging. You can save time by buying some to be delivered.
• It’s also Adopt A Turtle Day. Maybe a real live turtle isn’t ideal, but how ‘bout turtle jewelry, turtle stuffed animals, turtle decor or some fun turtle t-shirts!

December 9th is National Llama Day! What better way to learn more about these wonderful creatures than to spend time with a llama farmer? Hear some fun llama facts and touching stories from Donna Justice of the Ellaberry Llama Farm. Make time to explore the richness that occurred on this day in history:

• The “birth” of an American Pie (so to speak),
• A possible UFO sighting (or not?!?!), and then
• Let’s celebrate National Llama Day with Donna Justice.

If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, make time to learn a little more about today by listening to some fun, engaging stories. AND, if you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (along with links to where you can find them on Amazon).
I mentioned two fun places to visit in this episode, here they are (these links worked in late 2023 - not sure how long they will remain available):

• Find out more about Ellaberry Llama Farms - and even book a visit
• Find out more about the UFO Store in Kecksburg - and plan a trip to visit

Gift ideas for folks who celebrate December 9th for any reason:

• Domino’s Pizza has gift cards available, so you can share a pizza and the story behind it! And remember that spoodle I mentioned? Or the Noid himself would be a funny little gift!
• A book about the Kecksburg UFO could be an interesting read? Not the reading type? Perhaps a UFO t-shirt would fit better!
• Llama Day provides a world of opportunity for gift ideas. From stuffed animal llamas to llama pj’s. There’s also llama socks and shirts and llama jewelry. The world is your llama!
• December 9th is Gingerbread Decorating Day - and it’s the perfect time of the year to decorate gingerbread houses to display for the holidays, or any other gingerbread decor as well.
• It’s also Pastry Day. Local pastries would be best - but if time or distance is an issue, there are delivered pastry options available.

This is the very first DayStrider Bonus Episode - in honor of World Ukulele Day! A day to celebrate the small but amazingly fun instrument that sounds like no other. Who knew this tiny treasure could produce so many smiles and bring such joy?!?!

The ukulele evolved into being in Hawaii - and you can learn all about that story in this bonus episode. Kamuke - a world traveling ukulele player, song writer, content creator and uke teacher joins us to help us celebrate Ukulele Day. You will hear about many of the artists who made the uke famous, you will hear him perform some improv as a weathercaster with his uke, and at the very end of the show, you will hear one of his most intense original songs off of his Mixed business album called Supersonic Rainbow.

This is the very first DayStrider Bonus Episode featuring the full-length interview that was highlighted in Episode 7: February 2nd: Sometimes Crazy is Genius. Make sure to check that episode out as well to learn about Woodchuck Weathercasting & a Tasty Po-Tater Treat!
Enjoy!

I mentioned two ways to get in touch with Kamuke, here they are (these links worked in early 2024 - not sure how long the links will be available):
