Today (April 1) is Lupus Alert Day, though Lupus Awareness
Month is May.

My Catholic mother died (of a stroke or heart attack that
was probably influenced by her Lupus) in front of me when
I was about 1.5 years old.

An early death of the mother is said to be a common
factor for all buddhas, so it is a necessary but I
guess not sufficient condition.

Also today is April Fool's Day, and I have been
fooled on every other day so perhaps today this
fool will have his day. :-)

Also Newfoundland joined Canada just before midnight
on March 31, 1949, so woke up to find itself part
of Canada on April Fool's Day.
