Chris, yes, lots of holidays but only a few the regular working folks get to have off work..well, unless you work at a bank...they take all of them!   Well, all enjoy today, working or not. : )

We to to the mom-in-law's house, everyone but the bums bringing some goodies for the table.  They say each year, be there by 1 pm and we eat at 1:30.  Every year we eat closer to 2:30..I stay out of the kitchen with so many cooks in there at one time.  It is a dangerous place for a wandering man to venture.   It shall be nice and fun.   Tom.
