Brrrr, as predicted

Winter has returned. I found the wind to be bitterly cold this morning. No snow, however. Which is a good thing.

Seems like this is a holiday weekend for everybody on the continent except us. In the USA it's Presidents Day. What is it called in other provinces? Heritage Day? Family Day? In Quebec, it is well known that we are ANTI-family, or so I always hear, so no Family Day for us.

Why not just call it Winter-Break-to-stop-people-from-killing-themselves-from-depression Day. We could all use it.

A three-day weekend should mean that Kumar will make his way down the 401 for a visit. If he does not show up, he is toast. And I really mean it this time. Really! Even if he does make it, he will be informed that while he may not be quite toast yet, he is in the toaster and my finger is poised on the button.

We don't take President's day off : ( No three-day weekend for me either.
