Yesterday

[da]

Yesterday was fun: dinner with good friends. bats22 is staying over the weekend. I had a lot of fun joking with him, chezmax, the_infamous_j, and melted_snowball about the annoying commercial holiday it happened to be, about robots with flamethrowers, and considering the PTO possibilities for a Mix-master.

d. made a wonderful meal including Jerk Chicken and Blood Orange Crepe Suzettes.

Ah, and my plane is boarding. Back Monday night!

Yes. Actually, I really think this is the proof that MLK Day is not a real holiday. It will not be a real holiday until there are appliance sales on it. ("I have a dream! A dream of inexpensive washing machines!")

(I am actually almost serious.)

Hmm, good catch. I suppose Flag Day would be another example. And neither one feels like a real holiday to me either: when enumerating holidays before commenting, neither one came to mind. Drat! I have been corrupted by the commercial side.

Every now and then I think it would be more interesting to create or adopt holidays that are completely disjointed from these sales holidays.
