I wondered how you were going to picture 'ride the wind'. Good job on all your illustrations of today's special things to celebrate!

The rowing painting by Edward Ghoti reminds me of something that I believe George Bernard Shaw wrote:

That ghoti should be pronounced "fish."

Huh?
Yeah, you take the gh from the word laugh,
and the o from the word women,
and the ti from the word nation,

and presto, gh-o-ti equals f-i-sh!!

Scroll waaaaayy down and you'll see the origin of the word sweetheart. (Wouldn't let me copy.)
