Today is some sort of scattered Canadian holiday – “Family Day” here in Alberta, and “Louis Riel Day” in Manitoba. At least those are the two that I’m aware of. Mrs. That Dan Guy doesn’t recognize today’s holiday, and is busily preparing to head off to work. I’m preparing to enjoy “Stay In My Pyjamas & Housecoat Day”, which is eerily similar to every other day of the week around here…

Actually, I kid. I’m preparing to hop into the shower myself, as one of my volunteer positions falls onto today. Would have been a much better day to stay under the covers and sleep until noon (which I NEVER do, seriously), but duty calls….

So, if I’m not mistaken, it’s President’s Day down across the American border. I’m never sure about these more obscure holidays. I do believe that most folks in the U.S. shop for linens at local malls today, but maybe not so much if they live in places like Washington state, or Lincoln, Nebraska. Those sound like very presidential places to me, with possibly less frantic linen shopping.

Linen. Bedding. Back to bed…

Hey, we ended up watching the British Academy Awards last night. A briefer version of the North American counterpart, with funnier accents. Not a bad show, all things considered, although they all started to sound like Harry Potter after awhile.

Chow for now!!
