Janis: Silly me! There's no mail today - it's 'Presidents Day'! Arlo: Actually, the federal holiday officially is 'Washington's Birthday'! Arlo: 'Presidents Day' came into use informally in 1971, with the 'Uniform Monday Holiday Act'! Janis: What my parents could have saved on education if they had only known I was going to meet you!

When I actually worked for a living, I really didn’t care who’s birthday it was just as long as I got the 3 days off. Now, all I have is time to think about all I have forgotten and still be a fount of wisdom when I discuss politics with my wife. She agrees just to shut me up.
