Renewing the Call

Time for me to renew my call to modify the federal holidays. Yes, Washington was very important to this country and we should be cognizant of our history. But we just had a Monday off in January (MLK) after the holiday season; we don't need another day off of work now, in a cold, crappy month, with no holidays coming until the end of May.

When we need it is the first Monday of April. Opening Day. National Pastime, National Holiday--it's got to happen. Tons of people skip work to go to the games anyway, and tons more like me are just this side of useless that day. How does this not make sense? Who's with me?

I'm with you! I'd even consider going to a game on Opening Day if it were a national holiday. 'Course, I'd probably stay home instead. But still: my patriotic fervor would make me consider it.
