April 15 is DA VINCI DAY

SAN FRANCISCO--Forget about "Tax Day." I declare Saturday, April 15, Da Vinci Day, for Leonardo da Vinci was born on Saturday, April 15, in the year 1452. On Da Vinci Day, banks and businesses close, but museums do not! To celebrate Da Vinci Day properly, one can
*write in a journal
*draw
*design something, such as a painting, sculpture, or flying machine
*go to a museum
*conduct a science experiment
*look at replicas of da Vinci's work
*smile like the Mona Lisa
*eat vegetarian Italian food
*think!
*discuss your day and your philosophy of life over wine or chocolate

And a Dazzling Da Vinci Day to all!
