Sigh. If only . . . I'm an NC native. When I was in elementary school, we didn't get Columbus Day off from school or Veteran's Day either.

A day in September is not equal to a day in June in terms of learning something.
The Boston part of my post name is in honor of the Boston Red Sox, my other love, not necessarily the city itself. Although I've been here long enough it occasionally feels like home. And I've rooted for the Pats since they were really, really bad.

Sugar Hill Gang or GrandMaster Flash?
