It's worth noting before I move into the next major project on this blog that July is National Ice Cream Month.
The third Sunday in July is always National Ice Cream Day (it was the 15th) and I was going to write about this then, but I got really busy for a little bit, and I was bogged down in research for the aforementioned project.
President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984. Only Executive Order or an Act of Congress can create an actual National holiday, so this one is for real.
Since it's been so hot here in Michigan (Hot in Michigan? Yeah, I know, weird...) I've been celebrating by having a bowl of ice cream pretty much every day this month. That will come to an end tonight however, because as of sun-down, we'll be entering the Islamic month of Ramadan... which is characterized by a strict fast from sun-up until sun-down... and I'll be observing the holy month right along with the Muslim community this year...
Stay tuned! I'll be updating on my Ramadan progress frequently.
