Yikes ! More snow.
Pretty scenery, though.
Well, it is George Washington's Birthday celebration, not President's Day. Here is the NYSE take on the matter:
Washington's Birthday was first declared a federal holiday by an 1879 act of Congress. The Monday Holiday Law, enacted in 1968, shifted the date of the commemoration of Washington's Birthday from February 22 to the third Monday in February, but neither that law nor any subsequent law changed the name of the holiday from Washington's Birthday to President's Day.
Although the third Monday in February has become popularly known as President's Day, the NYSE's designation of Washington's Birthday as an Exchange holiday (Rule 51) follows the form of the federal holiday outlined above (section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code).
Time for Lasagna.
Cadillac Margaritas too. This brand El Caballo Estrella Tequila is 100% de Blue Agave and about $5 cheaper than Jose Cuervo. Tequila is Tequila. I also use Gran Gala Orange Liqueur instead of Grand Marnier because it is half the price. A mixed drink allows many variations.
The Ninth Annual Big Apple BBQ Block Party at Madison Square Park will be June 11th and June 12th.
Today's NYT has a good interview of Walt Frazier. A book I have in my collection, Rockin' Steady has been re-issued.
Q.The revised book still has the segment about how you caught flies to get quick hands. Do you still do it?
A.They don’t come around me anymore. [Frazier laughed.] They heard about my reputation. They stay away from me now.
Robert Vaughn in The Magnificent Seven also had a thing about flies.
Lee: [Grabs at three flies - opens his hand] One. There was a time when I'd have gotten all three.
