Would you be surprised to learn that President's Day is 1.) always written with an apostrophe and 2.) a day set aside not only to commemorate Washington's birthday, but also to acknowledge past U.S. Presidents?
As in aaaaaaaaaaaall the presidents?
I've got a few favorite past Heads of State, and I know perhaps a tad too much about this one, because among my many attributes--besides being a still in the closet secret lover of blue grass music--I am also a history geek.
So, after you take a few minutes to yourself to snicker about that little fact, click on over to Aiming Low and find out about a colorful past Leader of our United States: Andrew Ol' Hickory Jackson, aka "If Keith Richards were President."
Happy National Post Office Closed Day to you all!

That damn apostrophe works my nerves. Which president am I to celebrate? WHICH ONE BECAUSE YOUR APOSTROPHE MEANS THIS ONE OR THAT ONE.
ReplyDeleteI kept checking my mail all day and was "WTF???" The kids still had school because of the Chicago teachers' strike (did I put the apostrophe in the right spot there??).
ReplyDeleteI thought it was just Abe and George because of their birthdays, and i guess took that to mean no other presidents were worth a day off. Now i feel silly, and intrigued!
