I was sick all weekend. I blame getting culture by going to a Romeo & Juliet ballet. Don't get me wrong, it was really good but I think being around all those people got me sick. Or maybe it was going to hospital.....

Sadly, this is not ballet. |
Also, one of my friends passed away earlier this morning. We met while working on the Census together and we had quite a bit in common. He had been battling pancreatic cancer and just a week or so ago posted that he may only have months but more than likely days left to live. I wish I had gotten to know him better but I'm glad he's out of the constant pain that he was in.
Today I learned, from a kind of a
jerky Christian Science Monitor article and
confirmed by Wikipedia, that it's not officially Presidents' Day but just Washington's Birthday. Apparently there have been proposals to make Washington's Birthday the all-encompassing Presidents' Day to celebrate all presidents but those have fallen through--probably because who really wants to honor William Henry Harrison or Millard Fillmore?
I'm shocked that Veeblefester thinks so highly of Lincoln considering Lincoln freed all of Veeblefester's cheap labor.
