Surprise... Joe, here. I haven't posted for nearly a year, and I don't know what the (much more) regular writers of this blog might have prepared for today. But last year the guys put together a great commemoration of Chesterton, and posted it during the days from the anniversary of Gilbert's birth (May 29) and death (June 14). And so, as is my custom, I refer you to something written by others. Here are the articles from last year's birth to death commemoration:

Eat some Stilton cheese, drink a glass of red wine, smoke a cigar with friends; celebrate as you deem fit ... but celebrate! And, of course, read some Chesterton.

Three cheers for the man who lived!
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
w00t!
Happy birthday, GKC! :-D
A good day to picnic on the roof, or maybe with a wheel of cheddar and a barrel of rum, with an inn sign for company.
Pick a sword fight with someone! Throw a rock through the window of your local newspaper!
Propose to your wife! Knock on your front door and ask to enter, of better yet, break into your house!
Finally, compose a love poem to our Lady. :-)
BE THANKFUL. Look at everything as if seeing it for the very first time.
