Today’s Dominic’s name day. I know, many of you are wondering, “What’s a name day?”

It’s a little way I pay homage to my Italian heritage.

You see, as I’ve written about before, Italians not only celebrate birthdays, they also celebrate name days. Any excuse for a party!

So, in addition to wishing my brother, and my friend, Mark, a happy birthday, I’m posting to wish Dominic a Happy Onomastico (and to get better soon; he’s got a nasty cold).
