Yes. Because the holidays were Sundays, the official day is the following Monday.

Is that a new thing if Christmas Day and New Year's Day fall on Sunday?

I seem to recall it happening before, certainly not when we were young.

I wasn’t expecting the Rose Parade to be today, either.

Neither was I.

I was shocked at how busy the gym was today, then remembered it is a holiday.

But when did this tradition begin?

Something for Everyone is so much worse than I remember.

The book it's based on is almost as bad.

I futzed and finessed quite a bit, adding a few things, removing a few things and probably adding a page of stuff overall, then I wrote four new pages and now I'm taking a break and not going to the bank . I'll eat some tuna pasta salad, then go back and try to write at least six more pages.

I went to the church to set up the tables for tomorrow's gathering. I'm using covid as an excuse for taking it easy.

BK's talk about tuna pasta salad inspired me to make some.
