just a few more days, right?
The long stretch is almost over.
I am referring, of course, to the spring wasteland—the big run of months with no national holidays. (I know that Milbarge has already proposed a solution to this, but the federal government hasn’t seen fit to go ahead with this plan, unfortunately.)
So I’m going to do the weekend up right. Our Memorial Day plans include tubing on Saturday, a pool party Sunday, a birthday dinner Sunday night, and a barbecue on Monday. In other words, this holiday weekend will be much fuller than a “normal” weekend.
Of course, I was really looking forward to the long weekend until it occurred to me that, for all my dreaming of extra sleep, I won’t be getting any of that this weekend. Well, pooh.
