Men Make Dinner Day
Does your guy make dinner...ever?  If not, then this day is one for him to give it a go!  There's no reason to be scared, he's got a whole website dedicated to helping him, and other dudes, out.
The man doth protest: The fake holiday is lame, stale, and condescending
The trend of men staying out of the kitchen may be shifting. When Their Workday Ends, More Fathers Are Heading Into the Kitchen
If your guy is the one who makes dinner the majority of the time then why not flip this day and make dinner for him? 
HAHAHAHAHAHA!  I have to include this because it is totally true of my hub and I.
When he makes dinner the kitchen stays relatively clean? When I do?
It's like a bomb has gone off!
Yes, my man happens to make dinner every so often or help me make dinner.
That's my most favorite, when we make it together and are in the kitchen together.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
