March 2nd is Theodore Geisel’s birthday – happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!
Published posthumously, Oh! The Places You’ll Go has become a favorite graduation gift – even making it into some commencement speeches …
“You’re on your own, and you know what you know. And you will be the guy who’ll decide where you’ll go. Oh the places you’ll go…”
But, it’s the Cat in the Hat and the Grinch who first come to mind when the fun-loving political cartoonist turned author is mentioned.

Dr. Seuss even wrote a birthday book – with words of wisdom for those days we are wondering what we are doing here…
“If you’d never been born, then you might be an Isn’t!
An Isn’t has no fun at all. No, he disn’t.”
Just remember… “There is no one alive who is you-er than you.”

Great post – I’ve been at a few of those graduations. My personal favorite is Green Eggs and Ham!
