1 -- All Fool's Day

1 Apr -- This is "April Fools" Day!

Or is it All Fools' Day? One of the first reportings of All Fools' Day was in "Poor Robin's Almanack" (no, not Poor Richard; but Poor Robin) in 1760. Poor Robin said, "The first of April, some do say, is set apart for All Fools' Day, but why the people call it so, nor I nor they themselves do know."

What is an April Fool? Someone who you trick into doing or saying something ludicrous, nonsensical, or fake. In other words, someone you make out to be a fool.

Since this is pretty ludicrous, and you're reading it on this April Fools' Day, could it be that you're an April Fool?

Word Of The Day: Agitant (AJ i tuhnt) n. One who is active in a course of action; an exciter. She became an agitant for animal rights.

On this date in 1877, the first "Egg Roll" was held on the grounds of the Capitol in Washington, DC. It was the first event of its kind and is now an annual affair. Today, the Egg Roll is held the day after Easter, hosted by the President of the United States and the First Lady on the White House lawn. The Vice President and his wife also attend the event. The Egg Roll usually follows a traditional Easter Egg Hunt on the grounds, as well. The first president on hand for the first Egg Roll was Rutherford B. Hayes. The event was discontinued for a period of 11 years at the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942. The president who brought the tradition back in 1953 was Dwight D. Eisenhower. Roll on!

Word Of The Day: Metamorphosis (met uh MOR phuh suhs) n. A marked change; transformation. She's gone through a metamorphosis since we last saw her.

3 Apr -- This is "Frank" Day!

We know ... we're scraping the bottom of the barrel on this little tidbit of history, but... It was on this day in 1800 that Martha Washington became the first U.S. President's wife to be allowed to, um "frank" mail. Sheesh! What does that mean? Well, according to Mr. Webster's dictionary, "frank" means "to send free of postage. The right to send mail for free. A mark indicating this right."

So, there you have it. We were being perfectly "frank" with you about what this was all about and, frankly, we hope you have learned something.

Word Of The Day: Scrutable (SKROOT uh buhl) adj. Comprehensible, easy to be seen or understood. This book made each of Einsteins' theories somewhat scrutable.

4 Apr -- Today is "Vitamin C" Day!

On April 4, 1932, Professor C.G. King of the University of Pittsburgh isolated vitamin C after five years of research. Take some vitamin C today and feel better fast! Suck a lemon!

Word Of The Day: Extempore (ik STEM puh ree) adj. Impromptu, unrehearsed. The group did an extempore rendition of "Hearbreak Hotel."

5 Apr -- This is "Superstar" Day!

Some of the world's best known actors and actresses were born on this day, starting in 1900 with Spencer Tracy. A year later Melvyn Douglas made the scene, followed in seven years by Bette Davis. Then eight years later Gregory Peck was born. For those of you who lost track, that would be 1916. By 1979 they had collected a total of seven Oscars between them. Bette Davis copped the Best Actress Award in 1935 for her performance in "Dangerous" and then again in 1938 for "Jezebel". It was the same year that Spencer Tracy took home the Best Actor trophy for his role as Father Flanagan in "Boys Town". The year before, Tracy won the coveted statue for "Captains Courageous". In 1962 the honors went to Gregory Peck for his performance in "To Kill a Mockingbird". Melvyn Douglas picked up his two Oscars as Best Supporting Actor in "Hud" in 1963 and "Being There" in '79.

Other movies associated with these timeless superstars include: "Father of the Bride" and "Inherit the Wind" for Spencer Tracy, "As You Desire Me" for Melvyn Douglas, "Gentleman's Agreement" and "Roman Holiday" for Gregory Peck and "All About Eve" and "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" for Bette Davis. Go rent a few of these classic films and see what movies were really all about ... when "Those Were the Days".

Word Of The Day: Vacuous (VAK yoo uhs) adj. Empty; stupid. With a vacuous smile, he walked on down the road.

6 Apr -- This is "Pilot's License" Day!

William P. MacCracken, Jr. earned license number "1" when the Department of Commerce issued the first aviator's license on this day in 1927. Could it be that ol' Bill wanted to go faster and faster so folks would stop saying, "Get crackin' MacCracken!"?

It's reassuring to know that most of those planes flying above you right now are in the hands of licensed pilots, isn't it? And, to think that it all started with William P. MacCracken, Jr.

Word Of The Day: Fealty (FEE uhl tee) n. Loyalty, fidelity. Your fealty to the team is inspiring.

7 Apr -- This is "Here Comes Rock & Roll" Day!

On this day in music history -- back in 1954, the tune "Gee" by The Crows became the first rhythm and blues single to ever gain attention on the pop music charts. This record was one of the first to influence the sound of early rock and roll.

"Gee", written by William Davis, the baritone of The Crows, made it to #17 on the pop music chart and stayed for one week. This was one of the first songs by a black group to be played on white radio stations. The Crows came together in the late '40s in New York City, singing on street corners. Daniel 'Sonny' Norton (lead singer), Harold Major (tenor), Gerald Hamilton (bass) and Davis entered a talent contest at the Apollo Theatre and that was the beginning of their recording career. The group split up in the 1950s just as rock & roll was really getting going.

Word Of The Day: Callosity (ka LAHS i tee) n. Lack of feeling; hardheartedness. Callosity and bitterness poisoned her.

8 Apr -- This is "Get Along Little Dogie" Day!

Godshall Ranch, Apple Valley, California was the site of the first Intercollegiate Rodeo on this day in 1939.

The students who competed came from just about every major college and university campus in the western United States. The young cowboys and cowgirls competed under the guidance of world champion professional cowboys. Assisting were Harry Carey, Dick Foran, Curley Fletcher, Tex Ritter and Errol Flynn. These stars were used to performing their own rodeo tricks. There were no stunt men or stunt women in those days. The Hollywood stars roped their own little dogies.

The competition was such a success and drew so much attention that it sparked the creation of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association now headquartered in Vernon, Texas.

Word Of The Day: Spiel (speel) n. A talk (as in selling). The bunco telephone spiel is nothing more than a persuasive plea for money.

9 Apr -- This is "3-D Movie" Day!

The year was 1953. Warner Brothers, the first of the major Hollywood studios to introduce 3-D motion pictures, chose this day to premiere "The House of Wax" at the Paramount Theatre in New York City. The stage show preceding the movie was headed by singer, Eddie Fisher. The film's stars, Vincent Price, Phyllis Kirk and Frank Lovejoy attended the premiere. A precursor to the 3-D Warner presented occurred in 1922 when "The Power of Love" opened in Los Angeles. The feature length movie was filmed in a stereoscopic process called Fairall.

The official first 3-D movie (viewed with special glasses), "Bwana Devil", premiered in LA five months before the major studios got into the act. It starred Robert Stack and Barbara Britton. Although the critics panned the flick as "low-grade melodrama with Polaroid glasses", the long lines at the box office convinced Warner and others to plan their own 3-D productions. In fact, 23 3-D films were released in 1953, "The House of Wax" being the first of the 23.

Word Of The Day: Inalienable (in AY lee uhn uh buhl) adj. Incapable of being taken away. Our organization would ensure the inalienable rights of all minorities.

10 Apr -- This is "PGA" Day!

Inaugurated in 1916, the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) held its first championship tournament on this day. This first PGA Championship title went to Britisher, Jim Barnes. Barnes won the match-play event at Siwanoy golf course in Bronxville, NY and was presented with a trophy and the major share of the $2,580 purse.

Much has changed in the PGA since that spring day in 1916. The event was changed to a 72-hole stroke-play game in 1958. The LPGA for women golfers was instituted in 1950 and the Senior PGA Tour for players 50 and older began in 1982.

Two players have won the title five times: Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus. Hagen has the record for most consecutive wins from 1924 through 1927. The lowest 72-hole total of 271 was garnered by Bobby Nichols in 1964. Julius Boros has the honors of being the oldest champion. He won in 1968 at the age of 48 plus 140 days; while Gene Sarazen has the title of youngest champion. In 1922 Gene was just 20 years and 173 days old when he took home the PGA title. We won't even mention what today's purse is for the PGA. Fore!

Word Of The Day: Dispassionate (dis PASH uh nit) adj. Not influenced by emotion; impartial. A dispassionate judge, he always rendered an evenhanded verdict.

11 Apr -- Today is "Barbershop Quartet" Day!

The "SPEBQSA" (Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America) was founded on this day in 1936. So, go get a haircut and ask for a "shave & a haircut, two bits!" or a refrain of "Sweet Adeline".

By the way, "Sweet Adeline", the love song that became a favorite of Barbershop Quartets, was written in 1903 by Richard Gerard and Henry Armstrong; and there really was a sweet Adeline. She was opera singer, Adelina Patti.

Today, female Barbershop Quartets are called Sweet Adelines.

All together now, let's harmonize. Hummmm.

Word Of The Day: Wont (wahnt) adj. Customary, habitual; apt. It was wont in those pioneer times to discuss the day before before eating the evening meal.

12 Apr -- This is "Rock Around the Clock" Day!

Bill Haley and the Comets recorded "Rock Around The Clock" at the Pythian Temple in New York City for Decca Records on this day in 1954. The song that many feel ushered in the era of rock 'n' roll was released a month later and hit the number one spot for eight weeks, remaining on the charts for 24 weeks.

It was not, however, Haley's first recording. He had waxed three other songs, all for Decca, "Shake, Rattle and Roll", "Dim, Dim the Lights", and "Mambo Rock". In fact, through 1974, the group charted 14 hits. Remember, "See You Later, Alligator?" from 1956? "Rock Around The Clock" was re-released in '74 and made it to number 30 on the pop charts. The song was featured in the 1955 film, "Blackboard Jungle".

Haley died of a heart attack in Harlingen, TX on February 9, 1981. He was posthumously awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1982 for "Rock Around the Clock". The record has now sold over 22,000,000 copies.

Word Of The Day: Reprehensible (rep re HEN suh buhl) adj. Deserving of blame or censure. Laughing at his misforturne was a reprehensible thing to do.

13 Apr -- This is "Elephant" Day!

The first known elephant (like, how would one NOT know it was an elephant?) to arrive in the United States, came to America on this day in 1796. The elephant was from Bengal, India and entered the U.S.A. through New York City.

The Metro Washington Park Zoo in Portland, Oregon also celebrates this day in honor of their famous elephant, Packy, who was born on this day in 1934.

To join them, ride an elephant today or, if you are short on elephants in your area -- eat a bag of peanuts; maybe rent "Elephant Boy", "Elephant Walk" and "Dumbo" from the video store, too, or we could even suggest, "Operation Dumbo Drop".

Word Of The Day: Dubious (DOO be uhs) adj. Causing doubt, questionable. This study is of dubious quality.

14 Apr -- This is "First Day" Day!

The Philadelphia Athletics, under manager, Connie Mack, played the Washington Senators in a most historic game. This game was not only the season opener; but also, the first time a United States President would throw out the first ball.

The year was 1910. The president was William Howard Taft. The game was held in Washington, DC and appropriately, The Senators won 3-0.

And so began a baseball tradition. Play ball!

(Interestingly, this is the same date, but in 1941, that baseball great, Pete Rose was born.)

Word Of The Day: Renege (ree NIG) v. To go back on a promise. If you renege on our deal, it could mean a lawsuit.

15 Apr -- Today is "Tax Man Cometh" Day!

It sure isn't as much fun as Christmas nor as satisfying as Thanksgiving. In fact, this day rates right up there with the discovery of the Planet Pluto for excitement. Since 1913, when the 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States authorized an income tax in the United States, and the Internal Revenue Service was set up, taxes on the previous year's incomes have been due on this day.

Long lines crowd local post office branches as last minute income tax filers rush to send their hard-earned cash and a nifty tax return to their Uncle Sam. Some people wait until the very last second (11:59:59 p.m.) to get that postmark.

Today, one can even file electronically via computer. Refund checks take about six weeks to get to eager over-payers, unless they file at the last minute. Then, a refund could take a couple of months or more to land in your mailbox. It's a "taxing" thing to do, but we've gotta do it. God Bless America!

Word Of The Day: Grapple (GRAP uhl) v. To grip and hold; wrestle. We grappled with the idea all day long and into the night.

16 Apr -- This is "Zoomar" Day!

On this day in 1947, Zoomar arrived. No, this is not about some comic book superhero or space alien. Zoomar is a lens demonstrated by NBC Television in New York City.

The Zoomar lens is a device that can feature close-up and long distance camera shots from a stationary camera. Eventually, the lens would be scaled down for use by regular photographers, not just for television. Maybe you've used the zoom lens on 35mm cameras? Well, now you know what a Zoomar lens is.

There are many different kinds of close-up/long distance lenses today, including the zoom lens named after the original Zoomar. Here's zooming in for a look at you, kid...

Word Of The Day: Decorum (di KOR uhm) n. What is polite; correct behavior. The choir's decorum was excellent; their singing, mediocre.

17 Apr -- Today is "It's a Lo-o-ong War" Day!

We are all aware of short wars like 3-day, 7-day, and 3-month wars, but have you ever heard of a 335-year war? Today is the anniversary of the date such a war was officially concluded.

In the year 1651, a war began between the Scilly Isles and the Netherlands. No one seems to know or care what started the war. What seems to be more important is that although the actual fighting ended in the 17th century, no one had ever officially declared an end to the war until this date in 1986. It was on this day that the Netherlands ambassador to the Scilly Isles, Jonkheer Huydecoper, flew to the islands delivering a proclamation that terminated the war.

We'd say that 335 years is a lo-o-ong time to hold a grudge!

Word Of The Day: Platitude (PLAT uh tood) n. A commonplace or trite remark. The newscaster rattled off one platitude after another.

18 Apr -- This is "Midnight Ride" Day!

At about 10pm on this date in 1775, three men took to their horses and rode from Boston, MA to Concord, NH to warn the citizens of the approaching British army. Most of us know of just one of those riders, one Paul Revere. The famous poem, "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow glorified the Bostonian, as the lone rider. He was, in fact, accompanied by William Dawes and Samuel Prescott.

We think it's time they should get some recognition too! After all, it wasn't their fault that their partner in the midnight ride was already well-known, having been a member of the Sons of Liberty; incited the British by publishing an engraving of the Boston Massacre; carried messages for the Committees of Correspondence, an underground organization; and was a participant in the Boston Tea Party.

In honor of this midnight ride, get out your Revere ware and make a pot of tea.

Word Of The Day: Adherent (ad HIR uhnt) n. A supporter or follower. She is an adherent of an organization favoring peaceful reform.

19 Apr -- This is "Marathon" Day!

On this day in 1897, the first annual Boston Marathon -- the first of its type in the United States -- was run. John J. McDermott of New York City won. The huge event is held each year through the streets of Boston.

Today this marathon attracts world-class -- and some not so world-class -- runners from around the world. Previous runners who have claimed 1st place in the 26-mile marathon include Rosie Ruiz who, apparently, didn't run the race at all -- but merely joined in a short distance from the finish line and claimed first place! Another participant supposedly took a taxi cab around the course and waited until the right time to join in -- and won! The prizes were, however, taken away from those who didn't run the Boston Marathon fair and square.

An interesting example of the tireless men and women who train to run in this premier event is Shigeki Tanaka, a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, who won the Boston Marathon in 1951. Many thousands of runners participate in marathon races such as the Boston Marathon, making these events colorful and exciting to witness. Hundreds of thousands of spectators turn out to cheer the runners in this grueling test of strength and stamina.

Word Of The Day: Repose (ree POZ) n. The act of resting; a rest. The painting showed a girl in repose on a sofa.

20 Apr -- Today is "Be Happy, Go Lucky" Day!

"Your Hit Parade", starring Kay Thompson, Charles Carlyle, Gogo DeLys and Johnny Hanser was first broadcast on radio this night in 1935. A youngster named Frank Sinatra would later be part of the program as a featured vocalist. "Your Hit Parade" stayed on the radio airwaves for 24 years.

Snooky Lanson would later host the program when it made the transition from radio to TV. Other long-time regulars on the TV version were: Dorothy Collins, Russell Arms and Giselle MacKenzie. They were the lucky ones who got to present the top seven songs each week. Since many songs stayed on the list for weeks on end, these vocalists had to invent new ways to present the hit parade. On April 24, 1959, "Your Hit Parade" died. The regulars just didn't fit with the new rock 'n' roll hits. Imagine, if you can, Snooky Lanson singing "Hound Dog".

The original title of the radio show was, "Lucky Strike Hit Parade", sponsored by, you guessed it, Lucky Strike cigarettes. The cigarette company continued to sponsor the TV show (those were the days when cigarette companies sponsored lots of TV shows); and the opening theme song was "Be Happy, Go Lucky".

Word Of The Day: Veneer (vuh NEER) n. A thin surface layer; outside appearance. He hid his insecurities behind a veneer of confidence.

21 Apr -- This is "Kindergarten" Day!

Some things we take for granted, like kindergarten. It's just the first chance most kids get to attend a formal school, right? Wrong.

A man named Friedrich Froebel actually invented kindergarten. Little Freddie was born on this day in 1782 in Germany. He grew up to become a teacher, author and toy maker. Friedrich 's experience as an educator led him to the conclusion that playtime can be very instructive; an essential part of a child's education. He founded the first kindergarten for this purpose in 1837 in Blankenburg, Germany.

This directed playtime led to his invention of a series of toys that were designed to stimulate learning. He called these toys, "gifts". The mother of famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright gave her son some of these gifts ... in the form of maplewood blocks. Wright spoke of the value the gifts had throughout his life.

Nursery school and kindergarten as we know it are the direct results of the influence of Friedrich Froebel. The first public school kindergarten in the U.S. was in St. Louis, Missouri in 1873.

Now put your paper and paste away; it's time to lie down on your mats.

Word Of The Day: Embellish (em BEL ish) v. To decorate; to improve (fictitiously) on a story. Fishermen tend to embellish their fishing adventures.

22 Apr -- This is "National League" Day!

An eight-team National League began its inaugural season on this day in 1876. A crowd of 3,000 watched as Boston defeated Philadelphia 6-5. The opening season consisted of 70 games -- a lot less than the 162 game season (barring strikes) played today -- and no playoffs!

These are the cities that were home to the original eight National League teams: Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Hartford, Louisville, New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis.

Today, Boston is in the American League, Hartford and Louisville don't have teams in either league, and Atlanta, Montreal, Houston, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Colorado and Florida join the rest of the original teams as members of baseball's National League.

Word Of The Day: Proliferate (pruh LIF uh rayt) v. To rapidly produce new growth; teem. Rabbits will likely proliferate until they take over an area.

23 Apr -- This is "Teletypesetting" Day!

Ever hear the phrase, "Must be a slow news day?" Welcome to April 23! Of all the wonderfully unique and charming things that happened on this day, only "Teletypesetting Day" could fill the bill. The decision was not made very quickly either, we might add. Our editorial board lost sleep over this.

The Associated Press began use of a new service, teletypesetting, on this day in 1951. The AP provided a perforated paper tape message to a news bureau in Charlotte, North Carolina. The message was then fed to a monitor for preparation into a printer. From there, the newspaper copy was completed. Boy, the things one learns here...

Word Of The Day: Repulse (ree PULS) v. To drive back; refuse. Our forces fought valiantly to repulse the enemy.

24 Apr -- This is "Pipe Organ" Day!

It was on this date in Chicago, IL that Laurens Hammond announced in news that would be favored by many churches across the land. The news was the development of the pipeless organ. The year was 1934.

Hammond, a decades-old name in keyboard organs in churches, theaters, auditoriums and homes is the same Hammond who invented many of the developments that would make electronic keyboards so popular in modern music. The Hammond B-3 and B-5 organs, for example, became mainstays for many recording artists, while inventions in Hammond organ loud speaker development (the Hammond Leslie Tremelo speaker) produced still other important milestones that allowed small organs to emulate the big concert theater console organs.

Later, solid-state circuitry allowed keyboards the flexibility to sound like other instruments, permitting the organist to actually play an entire orchestra from the organ's multiple keyboards.

And you thought there was an entire orchestra hiding in the closet ...

Word Of The Day: Wane (wayn) v. To lessen, decrease; decline in power. Though her strength steadily waned, her sense of humor remained vital.

25 Apr -- This is "Talk a Good Game" Day!

Dr. Walter Miles of Yale University stressed in a speech this day in 1935 that "...a good mental lift is important." Now there's a doctor who knows what he's talking about! To make it even clearer, Dr. Miles continued, "...it is good to talk a good game of golf!"

Now we're talking -- something near and dear to our heart, certainly. Just watch your language when you talk golf, or you'll be asked to leave by the course marshal. And please, no spiked shoes in the clubhouse. Thank you.

Word Of The Day: Salutary (SAL yuh ter ee) adj. Beneficial; wholesome. His jogging routine definitely had its salutary effects.

26 Apr -- This is "Odd Fellows" Day!

The first Odd Fellows lodge in the U.S. was established in Baltimore, Maryland on this day in 1819. The official name of the organization, still popular today, is the "Independent Order (of) Odd Fellows" or "IOOF". You can still see these initials on many old buildings in communities throughout the country. These are the Odd Fellows halls where the local, secret fraternal benefit meets. The first Odd Fellows group started in Great Britain in the 18th century.

The main focus of the fraternal order is "to relieve the brethren, bury the dead, and care for the widow and the orphan." This focus has been broadened through the years to include the principles of friendship, love and truth.

The Odd Fellows maintain homes for the aged, the poor, widows and orphans and provide members with financial aid in sickness or death. U.S. national headquarters are located in Baltimore, MD and the membership of the order is more than 1.5 million.

Word Of The Day: Overt (o VURT) adj. Open, not hidden. Do you always have to be so overt and forward with your feelings?

27 Apr -- This is "Babe Ruth" Day!

Organized baseball celebrated Babe Ruth Day on this day in 1947. Major league parks throughout the U.S. and Japan participated with a crowd of 60,000 fans honoring their hero in ceremonies at Yankee Stadium in New York City.

Ruth, who was dying of throat cancer, managed to put in an appearance at Yankee Stadium at the ceremonies to thank his former club.

Word Of The Day: Recidivism (re SID uh viz uhm) n. A tendency to relapse into former behavior patterns. Recidivism amongst juvenile offenders is quite high.

28 Apr -- This is "Small Car" Day!

Small cars were offered for sale in the U.S. for the first time on this day in 1939. Actually, these little cars would make today's compact cars look like land yachts! Imagine a car that sold for $325, was 10-feet long, had an 80-inch wheelbase and a four-gallon gas tank. We just described the Crosley which became fairly popular back in 1939 -- but wouldn't survive.

Once the war effort got underway, auto manufacturing was cut back for defense needs. After World War II, people wanted luxury and size in their automobiles; considered better for family needs. The little Crosley fought an uphill battle and was replaced less than 15 years later by the popular German Volkswagen Bug, remember? It was more affectionately called The VW Beetle. Every now and then we see one of these little cars (with their engines in the trunk) still chugging around.

Word Of The Day: Invective (in VEK tiv) n. An abusive verbal attack; insulting speech. A spate of invective rushed from the prisoner's lips.

29 Apr -- This is "Wide World of Sports" Day!

"Spanning the globe ... to bring you the constant variety of sport, the constant variety of human competition, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. This is ABC's Wide World of Sports."

On this day in 1961, a Saturday afternoon sports program began its long run on ABC-TV. The show, featuring Jim McKay as host, along with Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, Al Michaels, Jack Whitaker, Heywood Hale Brun and many more was not an immediate hit. Although Roone Arledge's vision of a worldwide window on televised sports got off to a slow start, "ABC's Wide World of Sports" became one of TV's most popular and enduring programs.

Word Of The Day: Bona fide (Bo nuh faid) adj. Genuine, without fraud. Are the bolts made of bona fide hardened steel?

30 Apr -- Today is "National Holiday" Day!

In 1889, the first national holiday in the United States was celebrated. The citizens of the U.S. observed the centennial of George Washington's inauguration.

Although this is no longer a national holiday, you'll be happy to know that there are now at least half a dozen holidays -- most on Mondays -- that give folks in the U.S. a day off of work and a reason to have a parade, picnic, or go shopping at the mall to take advantage of the holiday sales.

These national holidays include: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving Day.

Word Of The Day: Impeccable (im PEK uh buhl) adj. Flawless, without defect. She has an impeccable memory.
