I enjoyed Columbus Day

Columbus Day is one of my favorite holidays

There were only 2 ways I could tell it was Columbus Day - the parking garage was a little emptier (there are some federal govt offices in our building), and I didn't get any mail delivered.

I don't think the public schools around here get it off (heck, they don't get Memorial Day off, and my company gets that one!), because there were protests at one of the high schools yesterday. (Something about the students wanting a couple of pesky things: books and teachers!)

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all the Canadians!

How come we don't have a Cook Day? He discovered the Hawaiian Islands (calling them the Sandwich Islands) that are now apart of America??!!:confused:

Only thing around here that noted the day was no mail. Boy still had school, I still had work. This just means that my pay check will be here on Thursday instead of Wednesday (temp work, get paid weekly, via the mail).

Boy will get Veterans day, but I will have to work. The Old People will take him to the parade for me.

Best Columbuds Day ever.

Come up to SF for the Columbus Day parade, they're fun. You're in North Beach (always a great place to be), the parade's fun, then in the afternoon there are the Blue Angels jetting overhead (cause it's always the same weekend as Fleet Week). Good food, good beverages, mass in the cathedral should you so desire and bocce ball and a load of great people.

Heehee - people will think the typo is purposeful - it's not.

I will have to perfect the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria Water Ballet before next year.

Yay! I'm so glad all of you had a great Columbus Day!

(Even if you were all lying through your teeth...:D)
