catch-up September 13 - You will have a great day.

My trip to New York was lots of fun, but didn't allow much blogging time.  I'm home now, back to work, and somewhat awake.  Here are the days I missed:

September 13 -  Fortune Cookie Day
From holidayinsights.com  :  This day celebrates the creation of the Fortune Cookie. What a great cookie. A little slip of paper inside of it brings you good luck, a whimsical saying, or a philosophical thought. (we favor good luck...we can use all we can get).
Its pretty clear that the Fortune Cookie did not originate in China. Rather, it was invented in California. There appears to be some uncertainty over who invented it. Some historical references suggest it was Makoto Hagiwara who invented the fortune cookie at the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco in 1914. Others believe that David Jung, founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company, was the first to make fortune cookies in Los Angeles in the 1920s.

I enjoy the randomness of fortune cookie messages.  We had Chinese takeout for lunch at work a few days before my trip to New York.  My fortune was "You will travel to many exotic places in your lifetime."  I love it!  The perfect fortune for an airline employee. : )   I slipped the paper into my ID holder behind my employee ID badge.  It makes me smile.

Do you keep fortunes from Fortune Cookies?  Have you gotten odd or funny fortunes?
