Why are several websites wishing me a Happy Patriot Day?

Because they're trying to make my head explode?

Why are several websites wishing me a Happy Patriot Day?

I think I recall that name being given to September 11th. It's frustrating and assine for those of us (probably limited to Massachusetts and Maine) who have celebrated Patriots Day (shot heard 'round the world and all that), for as long as we can remember.

Hardly a man is now alive / Who remembers that famous day and year.

...

In other news, today's Boston Globe has a somewhat comprehensive chronology of the disaster in the wake of Hurrican Katrina. It seems fairly balanced (not fair-n-balanced), pointing out errors at all levels of government.

Happy Birthday to Trudy and Aidan!

If this is Deena's Aidan, I'm nearly positive his birthday is February 5th (I know it's Feb., 2003 and that he was born before the sixth of the month).

I'm nearly positive his birthday is February 5th

However, my big sister Kara was born around this time of year, so maybe it's her birthday that you're posting about?

[Edit: 63=7*9. Also, this is Nilly's keyboard posting now, neither Aidan nor Kara. And Nilly is not really here, you see. Yes, Nilly's keyboard likes numbers too. It's obligatory, being in a room in the physics department and all that.]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Happy Birthday Trudy!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Birthday Trudy!

Hi Nilly's keyboard!

A nearby arthouse-type theater is showing Cat People this morning. Coincidentally set in New Orleans.
