Wow, what a great weekend … bright sunshine, moderate
temperatures, absolutely beautiful weather … just perfect for an outdoor pillow fight.
Yup, that’s right.
Too bad I missed it.
Seems that yesterday was International Pillow Fight Day
and was celebrated throughout the world by men, women, boys & girls, pillow
fighting. A crowd of several hundred got
into a pillow swingin’ donnybrook right here in our Nation’s Capital.
I had no idea any of this was going on until I saw it in
the news today. Had I only known, you can
be sure I would have found a reason to go out and “buy a few bags of mulch”,
and then proceed, camera in hand, directly to the Mall.
Now I have absolutely no idea if there were any blonde vs.
brunette battles yesterday but I would imagine, just by the law of averages
that there would have been.
Next year, perhaps.

Blondes vs. Brunettes Powderpuff football? Keeps on drivin’ on, that’s for sure.
Decatur, Alabama had their game yesterday on International
Pillow Fight Day (imagine the decisions that guys living in and around Decatur
have to make: “Do I swing a pillow today
at some hot chick or do I watch blondes and brunettes pummel each other?”
From Decatur Daily.com
Blondes, brunettes to battle it
out for Alzheimer's fundraiser
The rivalry dates back more than a century. The battle began when
organizers assigned the first women professional baseball players to teams
based on hair color. With that 1875 decision, the blondes versus brunettes
debate was born. On Saturday, 35 women, ages 21 to 50, will converge on Decatur
to settle the dispute in the Alzheimer's Association's blondes versus brunettes
flag football game. The game will take place at Cedar Ridge Middle School at 11
a.m. Although the common goal of raising awareness of Alzheimer's unites the
women, expect a little trash talk.
"The blondes have big people who are fast, so we're taking
the ‘slow and steady wins the race' approach," said brunette captain
Mallory McCormack, of Athens. "Really, we're just going to outsmart them.
It won't be very hard to outsmart some blondes."
"There have been barbs thrown back and forth. It's all in
fun, but we do want to win," said Courtney White, blonde team captain.
"It is a fun fundraiser and the real winner is the Alzheimer's
Association."
A fundraiser for Alzheimer's Association chapters since 2005, the
powder puff games have generated more than $3 million. Saturday's game marks
the first blondes versus brunettes duel in north Alabama.
"Alabama is the football capital of the world. It was almost
sacrilege not to have a blondes versus brunettes game here," said White,
the Mid-South chapter's special events senior manager. Admission to the game is
$10. The association hopes to raise $5,000 for education programs,
presentations, research, national campaigns and the helpline.
"I love football, always have, but more importantly, my
grandmother passed away last year from the disease. This is a way I can give
back, play in her memory and raise awareness for a cause that has affected so
many people," McCormack said. White hears the stories of desperation and
heartache daily — feelings she also experienced when her grandmother died from
Alzheimer's. "It is an awful disease with no cure. Many times I pick up
the phone and before I can say, ‘Good afternoon, Alzheimer's Association,' they
are already in tears. I cannot encourage people enough to go to support
groups," White said. At the game, the association will provide materials
and information about the Walk to End Alzheimer's scheduled for October at Delano
Park.

Well, what with the good weather this weekend, and time spent
outside, I didn’t really have the time to lay out my story from back in the
late 1970s when my neighbor fought another girl. We’ll just have to save it for another day.
But … that said, I know what you’re thinking: where are the catfights?
So without further ado ….
