Today, March 26th is National Spinach Day! When I was growing up, I didn't like spinach, I'm not sure how many young children do. But, we were always encouraged to eat our spinach so we would be "strong to the finish" like Popeye the Sailor Man!  Popeye was a great cartoon, and Bluto would torment Popeye, until he'd eat his canned spinach, and then would have the strength of 100, or at least 10, and would end up beating up Bluto and saving the day!

So if you're enjoying some spinach, think of Popeye! I know I will
