I'm on board for the long weekend--Columbus Day here in the States. Not a holiday for everyone. Where I work it is!
A little tidbit: the Columbus Day holiday in October 1986 fell on 13 October or maybe it was 12 October. It's a little hazy because that was my first day not drinking. The next day I went to an AA meeting--been going ever since.
Proof positive there is a God. (Well, to me, that is.)
