Tom's Book of Days
   
     
Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day
that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event. -- Oscar Wilde

On this day in history: pick a month from the pull-down menu at left, or pick a specific day from the list at right. You can also pick a month (without using flash) at the bottom of the page.

For a discussion of the calendar and the seasons of the year click here.

This is a purely personal daybook -- it doesn't attempt endless lists of all the known items for the various dates. (There are other sights that offer more exhaustive lists of events on this day in history.) I've tried to bring an original viewpoint to the project. Most images are optimized to 5K or less.

Try clicking one of the more or less random images below for a sample entry.
