If you’re already sick of singing “Happy Birthday” twice while you wash your hands, there’s a new and better way.

At a website called www.washyourlyrics.com, you choose a song that matches your mood. Type in the name of the song and the singer or composer/songwriter.

You don’t have to use a song that refers specifically to washing, of course. I chose the song “Sway,” sung by either Dean Martin or Rosemary Clooney, because it has a nice dance-y rhythm.

You can choose different songs for your everchanging moods; it’s a free site and I think websites like it when you visit them often.

Once you find a song you like, you can download the poster in PDF form. The poster we used for this article,above, is for the disco classic “I Will Survive,” originally performed by Gloria Gaynor and then covered by the band Cake.

The poster is different if you type in Cake as the artist; their version is  slower. The same is true for “Sway,” as sung by either Dean Martin or Rosemary Clooney.

On Saturday, Nov. 1, the Race Brook Lodge in Sheffield will celebrate the Mexican Day of the Dead: El Día de los Muertos.

Mexican Day of the Dead takes place the first weekend of November and honors los difuntos (the deceased) with ofrendas (offerings) on an altar featuring photos of loved ones who have passed on. Elements of earth, wind, fire and water are represented with food, papel picada (colorful decorative paper), candles and tequila left for the beloved deceased. The departed are believed to travel from the spirit world and briefly join the living for a night of remembrance and revelry.
