THE LEFT LANE
Hats off to Dr. Seuss

Advertiser Staff and News Services

All hail Dr. Seuss.

A colorful group of cartoon characters come to the fore with the issue of a 37-cent commemorative stamp celebrating the popular Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ted Geisel, known affectionately as Dr. Seuss.

The stamp will be released March 2, 2004 in La Jolla, Calif., as part of the "Seussentenial: A Century of Imagination," a yearlong celebration honoring his life and legacy on what would have been his 100th birthday.


Let's talk Cartier

Ever wonder how a piece of Cartier jewelry is made? A free public lecture by Kellyn Kubo at 6:30 tonight in the Doris Duke Theatre at The Honolulu Academy of Arts will feature "Cartier Jewelry Throughout History" as well as a short video showing how jewelry is made in Cartier's top studio. The talk will include examples selected from the Doris Duke collection as well as information on the early use of platinum in jewelry-making. 532-8700

Birthday give-aways

It's a first birthday bash for Na Mea Hawai'i, the made-in-Hawai'i store downtown. Today through Saturday, they'll be giving away books, an item of designer clothing from Nake'u Awai, Maui Lavender stuffs, Ni'ihau shells and Na Makua T-shirts. Book signings, personal journal sessions with photographer Linda Ching, in-store music and artisan demonstrations will be featured. 548-2665.

Cake, candles and ...

Looking for a way to add spice to a birthday celebration? Try these family birthday traditions we've heard about from kids from all over:

  • The birthday person runs around the block once for every year old she is.
  • The birthday kid wakes up to find a golden ribbon tied to the bed. The ribbon trails through the house, and at the end is a birthday surprise.
  • That Beatles' "Birthday" song is played and the whole family dances and sings along.
  • The family sings "Happy Birthday" at the exact time of the kid's birth — even if it is 3 a.m.
