44

The number of Presidents of the United States - 44.  And in a couple of weeks we'll have President's Day - a mashup created some time ago because two Presidents were born in February and having two holidays in only 28 days was too much - and having one three day weekend was easier, cheaper and better than two days off at various times during the week . . . especially since if 12th or 22nd was on a Saturday or Sunday there was no day off of work!

Presidents Day is a Federal holiday - and a state holiday - but not a city holiday . . . so . . . no 3 day weekend for me or any of my co-workers . . . SIGH.

Anyway - Happy Birthday George & Abe!!
