        NATIONAL DOODLE DAY!

    This is a day when we're all encourage
to enjoy or even create some of that unusual
art work known as doodling.
     I'm not sure how popular it is these days
but when I was in school doodling was a
very big thing. You'd find it, for the most
part, on those brown paper covers you had
to put on your Text books every year to
protect the hard covers that were actually
part of the books.
       It was a bit ironic. Especially on books
where professional artists went to great
lengths to design an attractive cover for
your history or geography editions.
       Students viewed those brown covers,
sometimes produced at home, as a canvas
just waiting for their pencils and pens.
        Many drew their names in some sort
of fancy style or, perhaps, pictures of
cars or boy or girl friends.
         Sports was another popular subject.
I included several logo designs of my
favorite team on a couple of my books.
I thought they were pretty good which,
in effect, made me a "Yankee Doodle
Dandy." Get it?
         Anyhow if you've got some paper
and a pen or pencil you can celebrate the
day by doodling away.
         Some celebrates do this every year
and auction their doodles to raise money
for research into epilepsy.
         Hope your doodles sell and that
all your NEWS is good!
