Welcome to September 25th on the National Day Calendar. Today, we're diving into the colorful world of graphic storytelling and savoring a gourmet seafood delight. Comic books have been captivating readers since the early 20th century, offering adventures that span galaxies, explore human nature, and challenge the limits of imagination. Whether you're a fan of superhero sagas, manga, or indie graphic novels, there's a comic book out there for everyone. So head to your local comic books store or dust off your own collection because today is National Comic Book Day. Wow, this place is awesome. Where do they keep the Archie's? In the bedrooms of 10-year-old girls where they belong. Do you have a collection of comic books? I don't. I used to collect the Archie comic books, and I used to be a huge fan as a kid, but I don't know where those went. Yeah, I was a fan of Archie's as well. That's cool that you had that same fascination. I also had some Mark Twain stories converted into comic books too, I thought that was cool. Hey, I like those. Yeah, they're fun. Lobster once considered a humble food for the poor is now a sought-after delicacy. Whether steamed, grilled, or baked, the succulent seafood is celebrated for its rich, sweet flavor and tender meat. Often associated with special occasions and elegant dining, lobster offers a taste of the ocean that's truly unforgettable. So treat yourself to a lobster dinner, or try your hand at a lobster recipe at home because today is National Lobster Day. That is a serious glow up from food for the poor to be a very expensive dish right now. I don't ever remember it at being nothing but a delicacy actually, so except if you live in Maine, I think there is a little tired of lobster, but yeah, amazing. Maybe we should go because I don't think you really have experienced amazing lobsters, so maybe we should go to Maine and do some exploring. Alright, I would do that. I would give it another try. Alright, grab your keys. Let's go. I'm Latoya Johnson. I'm Marlo Anderson. Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate every day. And join us for all of our adventures on Facebook and Instagram at the destination celebration show. Until next time, keep celebrating. Alright, now let's see who's celebrating. On the birthday club. Yep, I've got the names for the 25th Happy Birthday to Sylvester Scales in Ridgeway. Just sent a tuck Betsy Holcomb and Margaret Ferris. Yep, all today. One more time Betsy Holcomb, Margaret Ferris, Sylvester Scales, and Jacinta Tuck. Hope it's a wonderful birthday for you. Well, I'm taking names for the rest of this month. That would be the 26th through 30th and then all of October. Text them to me any time. Get them in. I like to have all the names and maybe the person you tell me about could be our one winner of the week. Text the birthdays to 336-932-1881. Let's see some big name birthdays now.

There are mountains in our own way, but we come to see that every day.
