National Anti-Boredom Month - July 10, 2006

School's out and vacations may await you around the corner -- the long, lazy days of summer stretch on and on. It seems like everything, from cities in Oregon to Superman artists, is boring.  Stop yawning! July is Anti-Boredom Month, so wake up and indulge yourself in some exciting activities!  You can watch paint dry or tune into a PBS pledge break.  Up and at 'em! Get out of the house!  Go for an exciting drive or even travel abroad! Celebrate the life of Luca Pacioli, the father of accounting, or study the rich history of lawn mowing!  See the exciting sights of Lubbock, Texas or England.  Take up a hobby. What do you like collecting? Shoelaces? Barometers? Airsickness bags? Gloves?  For pity's sake, there's plenty to do and to see, we swear! So get off of the couch and start doing it!
